Marc Cucurella was an unexpected hero in the past European Cup who won Spain after defeating England in the final (2-1) in the final. Before, in the quarterfinals, against Germany, the Chelsea full-back touched the ball with his hand in the area after Musiala’s shot, but the English referee Anthony Taylor did not point anything out. He immediately earned the ‘ire’ of all the local German fans, who never stopped booing him for the rest of the Euro Cup.
He is not only a key figure on the playing fields but also off it. The famous song ‘Cucu, Cucurella se come una paella’ became popular and he dyed his hair red after becoming European champion, encouraged by the shampoo brand that sponsored him. Now, ‘el Confidencial’ claims that all this has made him the third most searched footballer on Google in Spain, just ahead of Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal.
However, it took the first place in the question most asked in the Google search engine. “Why did they whistle for Cucurella?” What does this question refer to? Well, the fact that in the semifinals of the Euro Cup between France and Spain, in Munich, the German fans booed him more than ever: every time he touched the ball.
