Uefa referee committee

UEFA Referee Committee: Germany star Toni Kroos has responded with a sarcastic comment after European football's governing body admitted that Germany was denied a penalty during their quarterfinal clash with eventual winners Spain in the 2024 European Championships.

Following the Euro 2024 quarterfinal clash between Spain and Germany, which saw the hosts being eliminated with a controversial decision, the UEFA Referee Committee has admitted that Germany should have received a penalty for a handball by Marc Cucurella.

“It took them three months to realise it was a handball, something that almost everyone saw in a second. Thank you, it wasn't that big of a deal. Can I proclaim myself European champion now that they've officially said it was a mistake? I don't think so," said Kroos on his podcast, Einfach mal Luppen.
