The Germans feel robbed, Kimmich explodes: We were denied a clean penalty

Germany was eliminated in the quarter-finals of the European Championship by Spain, in a match that, of course, could not pass without controversy.

The most controversial case in this meeting was that of the 106th minute, when a shot by Musiala that was heading for the goal was stopped by Kukurela's hand. The protests of the Germans were great, but the referee Taylor considered everything to be orderly and continued the game normally.

This case has created great controversy, with midfielder Joshua Kimmich, who after the match spoke openly and was not spared.

"Everyone saw that the penalty was more obvious. I don't understand referee Taylor's decision to continue the game. I saw it as a scene even after the match. There is no reason why he should remain indifferent. The fact that VAR exists in such a prestigious competition makes you understand that transparency cannot be missing. Anyway, words are useless at this point. The fate of this match is sealed, as well as our elimination," declared Kimmich.

For the other midfielder, Toni Kroos, the one against Spain was the last match as a player, as he has decided to end his football career. The 34-year-old appeared disappointed, that he did not manage to end his career with a trophy, at the national level.

"We had a great common goal together. That dream is now shattered. We will realize in the coming days that we played a good tournament, but now it is very bitter. We gave everything not to lose. We can be proud as we have restored hope in German football," Kroos declared.

Disappointing elimination for Germany, who were the organizers in this European Championship, while now the attention turns to the World Cup that will be held in two years.
