In a triumphant moment following the Spanish women’s football team’s victory over England in the World Cup final, the president of Spain’s FA, Luis Rubiales, embraced and kissed player Jenni Hermoso on the mouth. On the podium, where the Spanish stars received their gold medals from FIFA president Gianni Infantino, Rubiales tightly hugged Hermoso and whispered in her ear before planting a kiss on her lips. Hermoso later expressed her discomfort with the embrace during interviews with Spanish TV station La 1 and on her Instagram livestream from the team’s dressing rooms.
Footage of the kiss quickly went viral, with some fans considering Rubiales’ behavior inappropriate. Hermoso, a highly renowned player in women’s football, has had a successful career with clubs such as Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, Rayo Vallecano, and Tyreso. She currently plays for Pachuca, a Mexican team. Throughout her career, Hermoso has won multiple Spanish league titles and club trophies, including the 2021 Champions League with Barcelona.
The celebration didn’t stop at the players, as Queen Letizia of Spain joined in the festivities, donning a scarlet trouser suit in support of her team, the Rojas. The glamorous royal, along with her daughter Infanta Sofía, jubilantly celebrated the team’s victory. Prior to the match, Queen Letizia expressed her joy and excitement in supporting the Spanish Football team, confidently stating that they were already champions.
After a tense match that ended with a 1-0 victory for Spain, the team celebrated their status as world champions by dancing on the pitch, with Queen Letizia joining in the jubilation. While the Spanish royals showed their support, there was no presence from the British Royal Family at the match to cheer on the Lionesses. Despite the agonizing defeat, the England team achieved their best-ever second-place finish and received consolation on the pitch.
Spain’s victory was sealed with Olga Carmona’s first-half goal, securing a 1-0 win in Sydney. The Lionesses had a chance to equalize with a penalty, but Mary Earps, awarded the tournament’s best goalkeeper with the Golden Glove, made an impressive save. Despite the loss, the Lionesses inspired millions of fans who watched the match throughout the country.
