After getting involved in a contentious incident during his team’s quarterfinal victory over the hosts Germany, Marc Cucurella was harshly jeered by supporters from the beginning of Spain’s semi-final matchup with France on Tuesday evening.

With the score tied at one goal apiece in extra time of Friday’s match, Jamal Musiala’s goal-bound attempt was deflected by Cucurella’s arm inside the penalty area.

Referee Anthony Taylor waived aside the Germany players’ and supporters’ insistence that Cucurella’s arm should have been given a penalty, despite their strong protests. The authorities of the VAR supported his conclusion.

Mikel Merino’s goal in the 119th minute helped Spain prevail while Germany was eliminated.

And it’s obvious that their supporters are still upset with the handball incident since they jeered Cucurella in the Tuesday semifinal as soon as he touched the ball.
