Kroos on Cucurella’s touch

Hey Kura – Toni Kroos, the German national team star who announced his retirement earlier, talked about Cucurella’s handball in the match between Spain and Germany, emphasizing that the referee should have awarded a penalty.

“I think the referee should have at least seen the shot, but the problem is he knew if he saw it he would have had to give a penalty,” Kroos said. “I have a feeling he didn’t want to give a penalty in games like this and the referees themselves don’t always know how to interpret the situation but in the end we have to give a penalty. Accept what happened.”
