Spain and Germany’s score was all tied in the Euro 2024 quarterfinal as the game went into extra-time.
In the second-half of extra time the ball looked like it struck Marc Cucurella’s hand after a shot from Musiala inside the box in front of goal.
The referee said no penalty and even the VAR didn’t intervene.
Although the ball struck Cucurella’s hand which was away from his body, the referee decided to not give a penalty because it was an unintentional offense by the Spaniard and he wasn’t looking at the ball.

I am sorry, but Anthony Taylor made an absolute fool of his whole profession. And the arrogance to not look at the Pictures in this situation is just absolutely stunning. I really hope this referee will not get ANY international games in the future.

If this isn't a penalty, then there's no handball in football.

This was clear penalty!!! I think Spain paid the referee and the var at 100%

[lizgoldstein]

It’s clear why he didn’t need VAR — he was right there at 12 o’clock, a couple of yards away, he _saw_ the handball and he judged the situation differently than, say, 9/10 refs would. To me, it’s a clear penalty: the hand is far away from the body, it’s not deliberate, but it prevents a goal from going in. This was painful to watch. I’m not saying Spain was undeserving of the win. I just think that Germany deserved this penalty.

German here, I'm not really a football fan and I only enjoy the europe and world cup tournements (sometimes), but dudeee this game made me really pissed, reminded me again why I don't really wanna watch football

[gl_gunderson]

Learn the rules, then talk. He doesn’t even let it check that’s the point

[salemsalem-jbbg]

Stop the Spanish robbery of the modern football please, it is no fun to watch a game you know before that the referee will take the Spanish side, there are thousands of examples how the referees take the Spanish team and Spanish club’s side all the time, STOP IT.

[salemsalem-jbbg]

The explanation is in the referee bank account 😂😂😂😂

[virus]

Fired never to whistle again not his first mistake

[martinranalli]

This means Spain's tournament victory is false and tainted oh dear.

[Micol]

Spain robbery as usual, just like with all the spanish club team

[vincentlombardo]

B.S Mafia soccer dirtier than ever.. disgusting

[jabbathehutt]

Fullkrüg was offside before the handball, so no mistake was made. Stop accusing the ref if you dont know what is going on, and he was supporting germany for the whole fucking game

[polielie]

It was clear offside. The real steal is that the referee supported Germany the whole game.
