Fuss about the hand scene
Cucurella admits shock: “I wet my pants”
It was one of THE scenes of the European Championship when Marc Cucurella touched the ball with his hand in his own penalty area in the quarter-final against Germany, but the referee's whistle remained silent. "Mamma mia, what a shock. I wet my pants," the Spaniard confessed to the "Gazzetta dello Sport".

"I looked at the referee and saw him say firmly: 'No penalty! I said to myself: 'Relax', but I couldn't do that until the game was restarted."
UEFA admits wrong decision
In the meantime, the UEFA Referees' Committee has admitted that it made a mistake and that Germany should have been awarded a penalty. A confession that is no longer of any use to anyone, according to Cucurella.
In the end, Spain won the game 2:1 and were crowned European champions nine days later.
