Moment emotional president of Spanish FA kisses player on the mouth
This is the moment the male president of Spain’s FA grabs one of La Roja’s World Cup-winning players and kisses her on the mouth.
The victorious Spanish stars stepped onto a podium after their triumph over the Lionesses at Stadium Australia to collect their gold medals from FIFA president Gianni Infantino, after they beat England 1-0 in today’s final.
Spanish star Jenni Hermoso and her teammates were congratulated by dignitaries including Queen Letizia, dressed all in red in support of her compatriots, who gave players a warm embrace.
Also on the stage was Spanish Federation boss Luis Rubiales, who threw his arms around striker Jenni Hermoso, and gave her a strong hug while whispering in her ear.
He then put both his hands on the back of her head head and kissed her on the mouth.
Hermoso was asked about the embrace after the match by Spanish TV station La 1 and, appearing somewhat uncomfortable, told them: ‘Eh… yeah, I did not enjoy that.’
She said the same thing when asked on a livestream on her Instagram from Spain’s dressing rooms.
Footage of the kiss has gone viral online since it was seen on air, with some supporters hugely critical of Rubiales’ behaviour.
One infuriated fan said: ‘The behaviour of Rubiales on that podium was absolutely grim. Highly highly inappropriate!’
Another added: ‘This is just awful, there’s absolutely nothing justifying Rubiales behaviour.’
