A British report revealed the reason for the continuous booing whistles launched by the German fans every time the ball reaches the Spanish national team, Mark Kokurilla, in the final match of the European Nations League.
Yesterday, Sunday-the Spanish team failed to maintain the title of the last version by losing against Portugal with a penalty shootout 3-5 after the end of the original and additional time in a 2-2 draw at Allianz Arena in the German city of Munich.
The match witnessed the launch of booing crises whenever Cocorella touched the ball, a repetition of what happened in Spain’s meeting against France in the semi -finals of the same tournament, which took place last Wednesday.

The British “Guef Mi Sport” website stated that the reason for this “angry” behavior by the German fans was due to a previous snapshot that occurred last year, during the European Cup (Euro 2024) hosted by their country.
The German audience believes that Cocorella caused their team to be excluded from the continent championship after he stopped the shot of Jamal Musial with his hand while she was on the way to the goal, knowing that the English referee Anthony Taylor did not count a penalty.

The match mentioned took place on the fifth of July 2024 in the quarter-finals of the European Cup, and ended with Spain’s 2-1 victory after resorting to two additional halves, where McCill Moreno scored the winning goal in the 119th minute.
It seems that the German audience did not forget this snapshot of Kokurilla and also did not forgive Chelsea’s back, which was evident during the Spain matches against France and Portugal on the MH Arena players “in Stuttgart, and Allianz Arena in Munich.
Kokurilla, 26, underestimated the importance of these trends in statements he made after the exciting victory that his country achieved France 5-4 in the semi-finals, and commented on this to the Spanish network “Cadena Kobe”: “These are matters that happen in football. I am not guilty of anything.”

“In fact, I do not know what they are trying to achieve from this, but this is how things are. The most important thing is that we have reached the final and this is all.”
It is noteworthy that the European Football Association (UEFA) needed 3 months in order to admit that there is an arbitration error not to calculate a penalty for Germany in that shot.
On September 24, 2024, the Jury of UEFA explained that a penalty should have been counted due to a hand touch on Kokurilla after a shot from the beauty of Musiala in additional time when the result indicated a 1-1 draw.
Then Tony Kroos, the captain of the German national team, mocked that championship, after which he retired -from Yuva’s clarification by saying, “It took 3 months to realize that it is a touch of hand, which is what almost everyone saw in one second. Thank you.”
“Can I announce myself as a champion of Europe now after they officially announced that this was a mistake? I don’t think so,” he added sarcastically.
