UEFA has acknowledged a refereeing error in the quarterfinal match of Euro 2024 between Germany and France. Legendary midfielder Toni Kroos, for whom this game was his last, responded with irony to the decision.

Details: The German midfielder remarked that it took UEFA almost three months to recognize something that was obvious from the start. He also sarcastically criticized the statement.

Quote: "But thank you, it wasn't that important; it gives me a great feeling. Can I now call myself a European champion? Since it's officially confirmed now. I don’t think so," Kroos said with irony while commenting during an *Icon League* match.

Reminder: The match between Germany and Spain was Toni Kroos' final game. "La Furia Roja" scored in the 119th minute to advance to the semifinals. However, the controversy arose earlier when the ball hit Marc Cucurella's arm in the penalty area, but the referees did not award a penalty.

According to Relevo, they obtained documents revealing that the referees made an error in that match. This applied both to the on-field officials and the VAR team.
