Germany eliminated from Euro 2020 after controversial handball decision
Alleged handball by Cucurella sparks debate over favoritism towards Spain
Germany's hopes of advancing to the semi-finals of Euro 2020 were dashed on Tuesday night after a controversial handball decision in the dying minutes of extra time.
The incident occurred in the 120th minute of the match, when Spain's Cucurella appeared to handle the ball in the penalty area. The referee awarded Spain a penalty, which was converted by Sergio Ramos to give Spain a 2-1 victory.
The decision has sparked outrage among German fans and players, who believe that Cucurella did not deliberately handle the ball. The German Football Association (DFB) has announced that it will appeal the decision to UEFA.
The debate over the handball decision is likely to continue for some time. However, there is no doubt that it has overshadowed what was a thrilling match between two of the tournament favorites.
