Spain’s acting prime minister has added his voice to those criticising the kiss planted on the professional player Jenni Hermoso by the country’s head of football, describing it as “unacceptable”, as the body that oversees sport in Spain was urged to act.
As Spain’s women celebrated their World Cup win over England on Sunday, cameras broadcasting the medal ceremony showed Luis Rubiales, the president of the Spanish football federation, grabbing Hermoso by the head and pulling her towards him for a kiss on the lips.
