Marc Cucurella has had an up-and-down career at Chelsea since signing for the club from Brighton in the summer of 2022.
His mixed performances have made him a figure of fun at times, while at others, he has looked like one of the best full-backs in the Premier League.
Regardless of whether you are a Cucurella lover or not, Chelsea fans do have a chant for their full-back, with his Spanish nationality playing a big part in the lyrics.
For all the key information on the Marc Cucurella chant, including the lyrics and tune, our chant guide below has you covered.

Marc Cucurella chant lyrics and tune
The Marc Cucurella chant is sung to the tune of La Bamba by Ritchie Valens, the same tune used for England and Man Utd's Harry Maguire chant. The lyrics are as follows:
Cucurella,
Cucurella,
He eats paella,
He drinks Estrella,
His hair's f***ing massive

The song plays into Cucurella's Spanish heritage in a jovial/stereotypical way without being offensive. Paella is widely considered to be the national dish of Spain, while Estrella is one of the most popular and famous Spanish lagers.
Whether Cucurella actually drinks/eats these two products regularly isn't really the point, and it shouldn't be taken too literally – it's just a bit of fun.
The player himself is clearly okay with the song, too, as there is video footage of him singing his own version of the chant. The only change that Cucurella made when singing it was that he changed the last line so that he could sing about Haaland being scared of him – a bold move for any Premier League defender.

FGG says: Not bad for Chelsea
Chelsea fans have a reputation for creating unimaginative football chants, most notably the ‘Chelsea, Chelsea, Chelsea' chant, which is seemingly rehashed for every new signing that comes through the doors at Stamford Bridge. Therefore, this is something a little out of their comfort zone, so hats off to them.
