Footage has emerged of Spanish FA president Luis Rubiales embracing and kissing Jennifer Hermoso on the lips during the World Cup final trophy celebrations.
Hermoso, who is Spain’s all-time record scorer, was asked about the incident during an Instagram live video following the trophy ceremony and said “I did not enjoy it”.
In comments given to AFP by the Spanish federation, Hermoso later said: “It was a totally spontaneous mutual gesture because of the immense joy that winning a World Cup brings.
“The president and I have a great relationship, his behaviour with all of us has been outstanding and it was a natural gesture of affection and gratitude.”
