US EditionReason Marc Cucurella Was Sent Off After the Final Whistle Revealed in Prem Statement
- Spain and Portugal competed for the Nations League trophy on Sunday evening at Munich’s Allianz Arena.
- The Nations League final came after a disputed Euro 2024 quarter-final where Spain's Marc Cucurella handled the ball to prevent a shot on target, but no penalty was given.
- Despite Germany's protests and UEFA later confirming the handball was a clear refereeing error, Cucurella faced boos from German fans throughout the final.
- In September 2024, UEFA's refereeing commissioner acknowledged the mistake, prompting Germany legend Toni Kroos to criticize the delay, noting that it took officials three months to acknowledge an error that was immediately clear to most observers.
- The incident caused lasting resentment among German supporters, but Cucurella remained a consistent starter for Spain, who aimed to retain their Nations League title in this high-stakes match.
