In one of the most controversial missed calls in recent history, Marc Cucurella blocked an attempt on net with his hand, in extra time of the Germany vs Spain quarter-final at Euro 2024. A penalty that should have been given would have almost certainly sent Germany through to the semifinals, and would have then been the clear favorite to win the tournament.
I have to praise myself for how calm I remained in that situation. That's very uncharacteristic of me. Now I'm not thinking too much about it because I can't influence it anymore. To this day I don't understand why the ref didn't look at it again," said Nagelsmann (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).
Nagelsmann went on to show his maturity by stating that he is no longer thinking about it. Most German fans have not yet moved on, as it has already left a large scar knowing how special a home tournament victory would have been.
