If Rubiales showed bad faith at first, he ended up apologizing. In a video shared by The Chiringuito this Monday, he expressed his regrets and thus asked forgiveness for his gesture. “We were at the heart of a historic moment, one of the most beautiful days in the history of Spanish football. We have worked a lot within the Federation, we are very proud. There is a fact that I regret between the player and me. I want to apologize for everything this has caused. We both have a wonderful relationship, as with the other players. I was wrong, I have to admit. It was without bad intention in a moment of euphoria. Here, we experienced it as something natural. Outside, an agitation was created. It outweighed the celebration and the credit to the team.”he said in particular.
