Natalie Portman, the Oscar-winning actor and part-owner of NWSL club Angel City, has described the actions of the Spain women’s team who won the World Cup as “inspiring” while saying she is saddened at how the Luis Rubiales scandal has played out.
Portman, a longtime advocate for women’s football, said she was disappointed by how Spain’s World Cup triumph in Australia had been overshadowed by Rubiales’ actions and the continual politicising of women’s sport.
