The head of Spain commented on the controversial episode at Euro 2024.

In the quarterfinals of the 2024 European Championship, the Spanish national team beat the tournament's champion, Germany, in the extra hour (2:1).

However, the most memorable episode of that match came before another goal of the Furies Roja, when Luis de la Fuente’s team was not awarded a penalty for the handball of Mark Cucurella on the 106th hour.

Two months later, the UEFA committee recognized the decision of the English referee Anthony Taylor as pardoned, but it was already impossible to correct his legacy.

The most important participant in that episode, Mark Kukurelya, during the rest of the interview, spoke about what he felt at that moment.

\? I was at the other end, to be honest. I marveled at the judge. There were only words in my head: “No, no, you won’t hurt anything.”. And then he told me: “No, it’s not a penalty,” and it seemed to immediately feel better.

I was ruined and angry because this arbitrator had a grudge against me. This is an English referee, and we had a lot of super points from him at Premier League matches. I know that I have fought for my decisions in advance.

What are the most stressful 30 seconds in my life Of course, I could become the most hated person in Spain.

And then he passed on Oyarzabal. I have a GIF of it on my phone. If I'm in a bad mood, I'll force it on everyone. At that moment I thought, what can I steal, then I’ll hit it. I’m roasting,” said the Spanish Bishop.

Spain won the tournament, defeating England in the finals.
