Chelsea fans hail ‘excellent salvaging work’ as Cucurella stars in hilarious Puma advert after his slips vs Tottenham

CHELSEA fans have gone into hysterics after Marc Cucurella 'saved' his relationship with Puma in a new advert.

The left-back's boots made headlines during the Blues' 4-3 win over Tottenham on Sunday.

He suffered two disastrous moments in the derby, slipping in the build-up to both Spurs goals in the opening 10 minutes before Chelsea staged a stunning comeback.

A smoking Cucurella stormed across the field after Dejan Kulusevski made it 2-0 and changed boots.

After the match, the Spaniard posted a photo of his pair of Puma Future 8s in the trash, alongside the caption: “Sorry Blues.”

The boots would be released by the sportswear brand the next day.

And they were even engraved with the message: “This boot may have leaked. We're used to it. Don't worry. Stay tuned.”

It looked like a marketing own goal, but Puma responded brilliantly.

In a new social media ad, Cucurella wears the boots next to a wet floor warning sign.

Puma captioned the image: “It's not how you slip, it's how you bounce back.”

The post also sees the wet floor sign placed for a purpose, at the entrance to a Puma store, at a bus stop and on a street in West London.

Fans thought it was brilliant, with one saying: “Excellent salvage work.”

Another said: “Best marketing ever.”

A third wrote: “What a comeback from Puma.”

Chelsea players also saw the funny side as Marc Guiu and Enzo Fernandez commented laughing emojis.
