Denmark boss Kasper Hjulmand laments VAR following Euro 2024 last-16 defeat to Germany and claims 'this is not how football is supposed to be'

Crystal Palace defender <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/outrage-germany-penalty-michael-oliver-controversial-handball-var-rules-out-denmark-goal-euro-2024-clash/blt748fd22da2478330#csf76e8aa9313ceb0b" target="_blank">Joachim Andersen saw his goal disallowed</a> due to a tight offside and moments later found himself unintentionally handling the ball inside his penalty box while trying to intercept David Raum's cross.

WHAT HAPPENED?

VAR eventually gave both decisions which proved to be detrimental to the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/germany-denmark-euro-2024-player-ratings-kai-havertz-jamal-musiala-var/blte6a7d5fbfbf09e4d" target="_blank">Danes' dream of causing an upset and progressing in the Euros</a>. Their manager was understandably disappointed with the verdict as he called the handball rule 'ridiculous'.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Speaking at his post-match press conference, the 52-year-old manager said: "I must congratulate Germany but the game was decided by two VAR decisions. I have the picture on my phone here. It is offside by one centimetre. And I am so tired of the ridiculous handball rule. We cannot make our defenders run with their hands behind their back. It's frustrating. This is not how football is supposed to be"He added: "I'm not against VAR but we have to be quicker and improve it. In my opinion, the decision should be as clear as the moon and not like we saw today."

WHAT KASPER HJULMAND SAID

After extending their unbeaten run in the ongoing Euro 2024, the Germans will now face either Spain or Georgia in the quarter-final on Friday. That game will take place in Stuttgart, with Die Mannschaft set to be backed once again by a vociferous home crowd.
