According to PA , UEFA review situations and provide guidance as to how they should be dealt with via regular exchange with referees.
Cucurella’s handball was one of such reviews and it is understood UEFA’s report pointed out that a penalty should have been given at the time.
Kroos, a World Cup winner in 2014, had come out of international retirement to play for Germany at Euro 2024.
The 34-year-old former Bayern Munich and Real Madrid midfielder subsequently announced he would be finishing his playing career after the tournament.
Following news of the UEFA report on Cucurella’s handball, Kroos said: ‘It took them three months to realise that there was a handball, something that almost everyone could see in a second. That reassures me a lot.”
Quoted by Spanish media outlet Marca, Kroos added: ‘Can I say that I am now European champion because it has been officially confirmed? I don’t think so.’
