Cucurella unveiled: grateful, happy and eager to experience the Champions atmosphere in his new home
Marc Cucurella has been one of the summer's big-money signings and one of the most unexpected arrivals. At first, the Alella-born player was not among the reinforcements that were being talked about for a move to the Spanish league. Not at least this year. Everything changed once the Atlético de Madrid and the FC Barcelona entered the scene, both of which came to ask about the player's situation. However, the Real Madrid only needed to knock directly on his door.

One and a half days was all it took for 'Cucu' to choose the white club. Today, the new Real Madrid player faces the complex task of covering a flank that, since the departure of Marcelo - his idol alongside Roberto Carlos- - needs a leader and a benchmark. With his signing, the Real Madrid wants to turn the left wing into a goldmine in both defense and attack, as it did in the past. A job that seems tailor-made for the Catalan, who has proven his worth countless times.
His unusual unveiling, following the 5 previous ones, has been just like his much-cited arrival: without much noise and with high expectations. The same pattern has been repeated: private event with no fans or media outside the club, but with family members and close people present. The Catalan footballer posed with Florentino and 'Pirri' in the traditional image shared by the club, with the classic backdrop of the 15 Champions. He will wear, as was already known, the number 17 in this new stage. A chapter that, as he has confessed on repeated occasions, he considers 'a reward for the effort of all these years'.

A move celebrated by many and questioned by others
His perico and blaugrana past weighs heavily. And any player who decides to turn his sporting career like that knows it. Just as he knows that criticism and gossip will come. Marc was formed as a footballer and athlete in the youth academy of the blanquiazul club and later moved to La Masía, but he did not fully convince the Blaugrana at the time, who opted for Juan Miranda.
Despite that, and as he clarified at the World Cup, he had no doubts about the huge step it represented for his career. For him, nothing weighs more than having put this 'finishing touch' on his career. And this is how he feels wearing white: like a reward. Big words, considering we are talking about a European and World champion and an untouchable at the Chelsea.
A Fantasy goldmine
Everyone who can count on 'Cucu' in their team will be delighted. He already enjoyed a few minutes against the Espanyol Possibly, he will be one of the players with the most minutes and prominence. In addition, his injury record is practically nonexistent. In fact, his physique is one of his biggest weapons. At first glance, he will bring plenty of joy to the Madridista side, their supporters... and the 'comuniateros' who have him in their ranks.
