Gavi keeps promise with pink hair after Spain's World Cup triumph | OneFootball

Gavi returned to Barcelona with vivid pink hair, keeping a pre-tournament pledge after Spain’s World Cup triumph. The midfielder turned 22 yesterday.

According to L'Équipe, he showed off the new look on Instagram, with both the club and his barber reposting. Thousands of fans online had urged him to follow through.

Team-mate Marc Cucurella also delivered on his promise, the 28-year-old left-back getting a tattoo of head coach Luis de la Fuente on his arm. De la Fuente oversaw Spain’s Euro and World Cup double.

Elsewhere, Pedri said he would switch to white or blond hair after the China tour and before rejoining Barcelona, while Lamine Yamal vowed to grow his beard and moustache for three weeks. For now, both are keeping supporters waiting.

Gavi had challenged Ferran Torres, the only scorer in the final, to shave his head if Spain won, but he is said to have changed his mind despite a prompt from Princess Leonor.

Cucurella had also stated before facing Argentina that he would be ready to retire from international football if Spain were crowned champions, with an answer due at the next international break.
