Here is look at the player ratings from the big European newspapers for Spain vs Germany. La Roja edged Die Mannschaft to move into the last four, where they will meet France.
Marc Cucurella was involved in one of the more controversial moments of the game- there was a handball call against him, but the referee didn’t award a penalty. Kai Havertz had one of Germany’s good chances when Unai Simon was off his line- he could’ve passed it to Wirtz who would’ve had a tap-in, but instead went for an ambitious chip, which missed the target.
