Real Madrid and Germany icon Real Madrid has broken his silence after UEFA confirmed that referee Anthony Taylor made a major error at Euro 2024.
And now, one of Germany 's top players has broken their silence on the statement, and they are not happy., the 34-year-old said: “It took them three months to realise it was handball, which almost everyone actually managed to see in a second. That calms me down a lot . Can I now call myself European champion because they’ve officially confirmed it? I don’t think so.
However, a 119th minute winner from Arsenal midfielder Mikel Merino knocked the Germany out of Euro 2024 and ended Kroos' career.But it could have been completely different as UEFA admitted that referee Anthony Taylor made an error during the second half as, while the score remained 1-1 a shot from Jamal Musiala was blocked by the outreached arm of Cucurella but, despite the use of VAR, no penalty was awarded.
UEFA's statement regarding the incident said: “Following the latest UEFA guidelines, hand-to-ball contact that stops a shot on goal should be punished more strictly, and in most cases a penalty kick should be awarded, unless the defender’s arm is very close to the body or in contact with the body. In this case , the defender stops the shot on goal with his arm, which is not very close to the body, making himself bigger, so a penalty kick should have been awarded.
