In his pre-tournament briefing, Roberto Rosetti, UEFA's head of referees, gave specific examples of handball penalties -- for and against. Rosetti showed a clip of the ball hitting a defender's arm from a shot on goal. The arm was in a vertical position, close to the body.
Rosetti said: "Not every touch of arm, hand is a penalty. We want to consider the movement of the players. Biomechanical movements. You know, this is a clear situation. This is never a penalty."
The example given was very close to the Cucurella incident.
So UEFA says that a defender in a standing position when the ball hits their arm at or close to their side, in position vertically, and/or with the arm behind the line of the body, it should not be punished. That Cucurella was bringing his arm in is a factor, as that's deemed to be removing a possible barrier (though you could be deemed to be doing that in a deliberate handball action.)
The problem? The ball hitting the arm of Andersen from fairly close range, with minimal contact, when in a running motion, seems less acceptable than giving a penalty against Cucurella for stopping a shot on goal.
But, like it or not, in both instances the decision has been given as UEFA expects.

Die UEFA wollte das so! Die Schiedsrichter haben genau nach den Vorgaben der UEFA gehandelt! Es ist völlig egal was die UEFA danach erzählt und wem sie die Schuld in die Schuhe schieben möchte, denn es ist Fakt, dass die UEFA vor dem Turnier nun mal ganz andere Vorgaben geschaffen hat!
