Germany, Spain defender Marc Cucurella insists the referee ruled out a handball in the controversial game against Germany, while also stating that the team's defense must be wary of the pacey French forwards ahead of their Euro 2024 semi-final meeting tomorrow night (July 9). Marc Cucurella, the Spanish national team defender, gave an interview before leading the Bulls to compete in the semi-finals of Euro 2024 against France on the night of July 9 at 02.00. He talked about the incident of handball or his own handball in the game against Germany. Cucurella revealed that at that moment the ball hit his arm, but he looked at the referee who said "no, no, no", which put him at ease. If the refereeing experts say that, it is not handball. As for the game against France, we have to play an attacking game carefully because they have a fast attacking line. We have to be focused for 90 minutes or more, or if we lose the ball and regain control quickly, I think Spain will have a good chance. Update on the injury o f Pedri, the Spanish national team midfielder, after he suffered a knee injury from a collision with Toni Kroos, the German national team midfielder, in the last 8 round game. The latest confirmation is that Pedri has a sprained knee ligament and is expected to rest for 1 month, and will not be able to help the Bulls in this Euro tournament. However, he will still be with the team. He posted on his own Instagram stating that this kind of thing can happen in a football career.

In this game, the Three Lions will have Marc Guehi, an important defender, return from suspension and be ready to play, but G areth Southgate, the manager, will decide again whether to send him to play in place of Ezri Konsa, who performed well in the game against Switzerland or not.
