Marc Cucurella: A Shirt Number History
Chelsea's New Defender and His Past Kits
From Barcelona's La Masia to Stamford Bridge's Blue
Marc Cucurella Saseta, the Spanish defender recently acquired by Chelsea FC, has worn a variety of shirt numbers throughout his career. From his youth days at Barcelona's La Masia to his present tenure with the Blues, Cucurella has donned several jerseys that hold significance in his footballing journey.
Cucurella's shirt number history began at Barcelona, where he wore the number 30 for the club's B team. Upon his promotion to the first team, he was assigned the number 23, which he wore during his brief stint with the Blaugrana. After leaving Barcelona, Cucurella spent a season at Eibar, where he wore the number 15.
During his time with Getafe, Cucurella wore the number 3, a number typically associated with defenders. This number has become synonymous with his playing style, which combines defensive solidity with attacking prowess. Upon his move to Brighton & Hove Albion, Cucurella opted for the number 5, which he continued to wear until his transfer to Chelsea.
At Chelsea, Cucurella has been assigned the number 25. This number, while not as common as some of his previous choices, holds a special significance for the player. It is a nod to his childhood, where he wore the number 25 while playing for his local team in Alella, Spain. By choosing this number at Chelsea, Cucurella pays homage to his roots and the journey that has led him to one of the biggest clubs in the world.
