One sentence from Marc Cucurella captured just how much Real Madrid have changed under Jose Mourinho, back at the Santiago Bernabeu for a second spell. The Portuguese, he revealed, has held up his compatriot Cristiano Ronaldo as the standard every player in the squad must follow.
Cucurella has returned to Spain after five years in England, arriving from Chelsea for 55 million euros. The Catalan full-back landed at the Bernabeu having won the Club World Cup with the Blues in the summer of 2025 and the World Cup with Spain, making him one of the standout signings in a revolutionary window that also delivered Bernardo Silva and Yan Diomande.
Cucurella’s Real Madrid debut in Gelsenkirchen signals the start of the “Cucumanía” era
The world champion will make his Madrid debut today in Gelsenkirchen. The club went all out for him to stop the back-and-forth of recent years at left back.
Gelsenkirchen is the stage for the first chapter of what Madrid fans are already calling Cucumanía. Maybe it’s early to ring the bells, but there’s plenty of reason for excitement. Real Madrid made a major investment to lock down the left‑back position before the World Cup, and Marc Cucurella proved during the tournament that the move was a complete hit.
Today, his iconic mane appears with a new look: not Spain’s red No. 24 — the number he wore while helping secure the nation’s second star — but Real Madrid white, with the No. 17 on his back. A provisional number, for now.
