You never thought FC Barcelona’s agony over Marc Cucurella’s switch to Real Madrid could be more uncomfortable, but the left-back somehow manages to fall even further. Speaking in Spain's press conference, the ex-La Masia talent didn’t just don the white jersey but even completely turned his back to Catalonia as he openly stated that he is one with the ‘Real Madrid DNA.’
The quotes that sparked fury
When asked if he felt a connection to Los Blancos, Cucurella to respond with an absolute slap in the face to all Barca followers who cheered for him.
"Do I identify with Real Madrid? Yes, I am very hard-working, someone who tries to give everything until the very last moment, who never stops trying. I think that’s a bit of the Real Madrid DNA, that thing they say about until the end"Marc Cucurella
The former La Masia player said with no hints of sarcasm and no pause.
It’s hard to imagine a person who once famously called himself ‘a true Cule’ and said that he'd rather shave his head off than join Real Madrid, all of a sudden chanting the “Untill the end” slogan of Barcelona's arch rivals.
We know that every elite player is a worker and shows dedication, but Cucurella is desperate to rewrite the script of his own sporting identity to please his ego.
The ultimate transformation into a money hunter
For FC Barcelona fanatics, this proves that Cucurella has just transformed himself into a snake who sees his club allegiances as nothing but PR material. Authentic club academy products are aware that the La Masia principles have little to no similarity with the capital club's values, yet Cucurella has proven where he truly stands, regardless of the cheque being cut.
By presenting himself as an enemy before even being part of a competitive match, Cucurella has completely wiped out any memory he had in the eyes of all Culers. Yes, he might fit into Jose Mourinho’s tactical schemes but he can only ever be a mercenary in the sport.
He has entirely destroyed all of his bridges to Catalan society. The start of the season will mark his debut as a certified Madridista on the football pitch, but to Cules across the globe, Cucurella’s legacy has been completely eradicated to dust. He will never be known as a true footballist anywhere he's played; not in Barcelona, Brighton, Chelsea or his current team Real Madrid.
