German fans have collected thousands of signatures to request a rematch of the quarter-final match against Spain in Euro 2024.

German fans have launched a signature campaign demanding a rematch between Germany and Spain after a controversial decision in the quarter-finals of Euro 2024.

DESPITE HAND BALL, REFEREE DID NOT AWARD PENALTY

Fans, angered by the non-penalty decision despite the ball hitting Chelsea's Marc Cucurella's hand, blame the English referee and VAR team. Spain won the match 2-1 in extra time with a goal from Mikel Merino.

Germany responded to Dani Olmo's goal with a goal from Florian Wirtz in the 89th minute. However, the most controversial moment of the match occurred just before Mikel Merino's winning goal in the 23rd minute of extra time.

The non-penalty decision for Marc Cucurella, who blocked Jamal Musiala's shot with his hand in the penalty area, caused outrage among German fans and players. Anthony Taylor's failure to review his original decision and the VAR team's failure to advise him received a lot of criticism.

THOUSANDS OF SIGNATURES COLLECTED

More than 30,000 people signed a petition on change.org and wrote the following: "Euro 2024 quarter-final: Germany - Spain. Anthony Taylor refereed the match. But it was clearly unfair!

"Despite Marc Cucurella's handball in the penalty area, Germany did not receive the clear penalty they deserved, which could have turned the match in their favor."

UEFA is not expected to respond to this signature campaign in any way. Spain will face France in the semi-finals on Tuesday.
