SYDNEY: The action of the head of the Spanish Football Federation, who kissed the Spanish player during the trophy presentation ceremony for the women's World Cup title winners, is in controversy. The head of the Football Federation, Luis Rubiales, kissed Jennifer Hermoso, the midfielder of the Spanish team who won their maiden World Cup title. Hermoso, who first criticized the action, later defended it.
In the match held yesterday at Stadium Australia in Sydney, Spain won by defeating England by one goal. Unexpected events unfolded during the trophy presentation ceremony after the match when Luis Rubiales kissed Hermoso on the lips after the Spanish players reached the podium and received the trophy. After this, Hermoso openly expressed her displeasure with Rubiales' behaviour. Though later in the evening, the footballer softened her stance and explained that it was a coincidence and the kiss was consensual. Hermoso explained that it was a natural expression of love and gratitude.

➖Rubiales llama "gilipollas" a quienes critican la falta de consentimiento en su beso a la jugadora Jennifer Hermoso.
➖No solo no se arrepiente sino que se jacta de ello e insulta a quienes denuncian lo ocurrido.
