The reason for these boos is said to have come from a moment at Euro 2024. During the quarter-final between Spain and Germany last summer, Cucurella was said to have used his hand to block a German player's shot.

This action caused outrage among the home fans, but the referee did not award a penalty to Germany. As a result, Spain won 2-1 thanks to a late goal by Mikel Merino. Until the 2025 Nations League semi-final in the early morning of June 6, German fans still could not forget this moment.

“That's what happened, it's not my fault," Cucurella told Cope after being booed in the semi-final against France. "I don't know what they wanted to achieve, but that's the reality."

Despite the protests from the crowd, Cucurella remained calm and focused on playing against France. After the match, the Chelsea defender also emphasized that the most important thing is that the Spanish team qualified for the final. "La Roja" will face Portugal in the early morning of June 9 to find out who will be the champion of this year's Nations League.

Fans have been expressing their opinions on the Cucurella incident on social media. One person wrote: "They must really hate Cucurella." Another said: "German fans are still booing Cucurella a year after this, they really hold grudges." A third commented: "I would never stop hating Cucurella if I were German."
