Real Madrid and Spain defender Marc Cucurella has stated he believes he "can never play in Germany" following the handball controversy that surrounded him during Euro 2024.
The incident occurred during Spain's quarterfinal match against Germany, when a shot struck Cucurella's hand in the penalty area. The referee did not award a penalty, and Spain went on to win the match 2-1 after extra time.
Cucurella's comments reflect the hostile reception he has faced from German fans since the tournament. The left-back has become a focal point of criticism in Germany over the non-call, which many German supporters and pundits viewed as a decisive moment in the match.
