This brought to a close Anthony Taylor’s participation in the tournament, who was one of the names being considered to referee the Euro Cup final.
One of the most controversial matches of the Euro Cup was seen in the quarter-finals, where Spain eliminated Germany in a dramatic match, in a duel that was only decided in the final minutes of extra time.
The match went down in history due to the questionable refereeing by British player Anthony Taylor, whose performance was questioned by fans and players, reaching its climax with the penalty not called in favor of the home team.
When the 105th minute of the second half of extra time was being played, Musiala’s shot was blocked by a clear handball by Cucurella, thus preventing Germany from scoring.
Although the referee was facing the play, He refused to award a penalty, saying that the Spanish defender had his arm stuck to his body, which is ruled out according to the television images.
Given this, Daily Mail assured that this ended up playing against Anthony Taylor, since UEFA, in charge of organising the European Championship, decided to send the referee back to England.
This brought to a close the referee’s participation in the tournament, who was one of the names being considered to referee the Euro final, in case England were to fall by the wayside in the semi-finals.
Faced with this last minute change, The name that has the advantage to direct the match that will decide the European champion is that of the Italian Daniele Orsato, who has just refereed England against Switzerland.
Orsato, who will retire from refereeing after the European Championship, was in the Champions League final in 2020. If he is not chosen, the Polish Szymon Marciniak would be one of UEFA’s candidates.
