Fans whistle chelseas cucurella – that’s the reason

Start in the Champions League

Bayern fans whistle Chelsea star-that’s the reason

In the game of the German record champion against the “blues”, a player of the guests involuntarily focuses on. The reaction of the fans has a history.

First game in the Champions League 2025/26 for FC Bayern, hit against Chelsea FC – but loud whistles and boos were repeatedly mixed into the euphoria in the Allianz Arena on Wednesday evening.

Reason for the reaction of Munich fans: Marc Cucurella. The full -back of FC Chelsea was again the focus – and was considered with a deafening whistle concert with every touch of the ball.

Because the Spanish international has been a red cloth for German football fans since his controversial scene in the quarter -finals of the 2024 European Championship against Germany.

At that time, the 27-year-old got into the spotlight after a possible handball had remained unpunished by him. Jamal Musiala shot the ball from a short distance from Cucurella’s arm. However, the expected penalty whistle failed to materialize – for the horror of the German players and fans. The scene caused discussions across Europe, because referee Anthony Taylor from England continued to play.

For many, Cucurella became the face of this decision – although the responsibility was at Taylor. The DFB-Elf resigned, Spain later won 2-1 after extra time and ultimately won the European Championship title.

The fans in Munich did not forget that almost a year and a half later. The boos and whistles stopped until deep into the second half. Cucurella itself did not seem impressed by the reactions.
