Perez saves “Real” from historical shame.

Smart decision by Dahia Al-Meringhi

Not only were Real Madrid in danger of going to the World Cup without representatives in Spain, they were also on the brink of an unprecedented historical precedent represented by La Roja’s chance to win the World Cup without a single player from the Royals.

This remained the scenario after Spain’s squad was released, devoid of any Real Madrid players for the first time, before club president Florentino Perez moved into the transfer market and decided on a deal for Chelsea left-back Marc Cucuria to be a player in white for the tournament.

With the move, Real Madrid have guaranteed a representative in the Spanish national team until the final match, after threatening to watch the Spanish players at the World Cup without a player wearing a Real Madrid shirt, a precedent that would be a huge historical embarrassment for one of the biggest and most influential clubs in the world in the history of the Spanish national team.

The deal came at an ideal time, after Spain continued their strong run of form to reach the 2026 FIFA World Cup finals after beating France with two goals in the semi-finals.

Cucuria, who became a Real Madrid player during the tournament, is now one game away from lifting the World Cup with Spain, turning Perez’s deal from mere technical support to a move that saved the club from making a history that will live on in fans’ memories.

The question now remains. Will history end in the final and will Cucuria become a world champion as a Real Madrid player?
