Chelsea legend Frank Leboeuf has reversed his opinion on Marc Cucurella, praising the left-back’s remarkable turnaround from a struggling £60m signing to a key player for the Blues.
Marc Cucurella has won over his critics, including former Chelsea defender Frank Leboeuf, who previously dismissed him as "not good enough" for the club. After struggling with form and consistency following his big-money move from Brighton, Cucurella’s performances improved significantly, particularly after impressing for Spain at Euro 2024.
His commitment, energy, and leadership have now made him a fan favourite at Stamford Bridge. Leboeuf, among many others, has now publicly admitted he was wrong, calling Cucurella "Cucu the saviour" and praising his defensive and attacking contributions. The left-back’s resurgence serves as a reminder that players can win back supporters with dedication and hard work.
