Targeted and accused for his behavior during the award ceremony at the 2023 Women’s World Cup, Luisi Rubiales nevertheless received support from Germany.
As much and perhaps even more than Spain’s victory in the 2023 World Cup final, it is the very particular behavior of Luis Rubiales which speaks. Present on the medal ceremony podium, the president of the Spanish Football Federation shocked by kissing Jenni Hermoso full on the mouth. A sequence which logically caused the scandal, to the point that the accused had to present a public apology. Vilified and singled out, Luis Rubiales still saw support arise.
It is a glory of German football who took the floor to try to calm the controversy a little. Karl-Heinz Rummenigge spoke and his remarks were reported by AS. ” I don’t think it should be exaggeratedsaid the top manager of Bayern Munich. When you become world champion, you get excited. What he did, with all due respect, is completely acceptable. And the German develops: I remember when we won the Champions League last time I kissed men. Not on the mouth, with joy.”
Reignited controversy
The Spanish media reports that Rummenigge was suddenly singled out in turn in his country for his remarks. Anyway, the controversy continues to rage and the latest video of a Luis Rubiales celebrating during the match from his place in the stands, holding his private parts, has added fuel to the fire.
