The Luis Rubiales affair will definitely have caused a stir. After facing the media storm since his forced kiss on the lips of Jennifer Hermoso, during the celebrations of the 2023 Women’s World Cup, the Spanish leader took advantage of his speech to apologize. However, he has assured, on several occasions, that he does not want to resign from his position as president of the Spanish Football Federation. And that caused outrage in Spain.
After several clubs, including FC Barcelona, it’s Real Madrid’s turn to communicate. “Following the intervention of the President of the Royal Spanish Football Federation, Luis Rubiales, before the Extraordinary General Meeting held today, Real Madrid would like to make the following statement: our club fully supports the decision taken by the president of the Consejo Superior de Deportes, Víctor Francos, who will immediately forward this case to the Tribunal Administrativo del Deporte. Our club supports our women’s football team and reiterates its congratulations on the historic achievement of winning the World Cup, and will continue to work for the development and growth of women’s football in our country.”. The controversy continues.
