Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann hit out at ref Anthony Taylor after their Euros quarterfinal defeat to Spain.
The hosts were eliminated by La Roja 2-1, with Nagelsmann accusing Taylor of favouritism. The Germans were particularly upset with Jamal Musiala being denied a penalty in extra-time.

“He whistled a little in favour of Spain," he said afterwards.
“It’s difficult to understand (why it wasn’t a penalty). Judging the matter in a footballing sense, if the ball had flown towards the old town of Stuttgart, then it would never be a penalty, but if the ball goes towards goal then it is clearly a penalty.
"(Jamal) Musiala’s shot was very good, it probably would have even gone in, and the hand is stretched out, very far from his body.”
