Germans resentful
Spaniard booed mercilessly: “A disgrace!”
Spain's Marc Cucurella was mercilessly booed by the German fans in Munich during the 2:1 victory against France in the European Championship semi-final. His teammate Dani Vivian shook his head and even spoke of a "disgrace".
Spain's Cucurella had blocked a shot from Jamal Musiala with his forearm in the penalty area in the quarter-final against the hosts. However, referee Anthony Taylor's whistle remained silent and Germany were ultimately beaten 2-1 and eliminated from the tournament.
And the sting still runs deep for the Germans: Cucurella was booed in the semi-final on Tuesday evening. "No player deserves that. Coming to the stadium to boo someone is a disgrace," complained team-mate Vivian.
Outraged press
The Spanish press is also outraged. "Everyone against Cucurella", headlines Marca, for example, and speaks of "hellish whistles from the Germans every time they touch the ball". The German supporters "must think that the blame lies with the alleged offender and not with the referee, who is responsible for awarding a penalty", according to the sports newspaper.
