The president of the Spanish Football Federation has gone into a fierce defensive battle.
of Spain disgraced football boss Luis Rubiales46, is hoping a recent video from Spain’s Golden Jubilee will help clear his reputation.
of El Espanol magazine the video published was shot on the bus of the Spanish team while the gold party was going hot. In the video, the subject of Rubiales’ forced kiss Jennifer Hermoso shows a picture of the kiss on his cell phone to his neighbors and smiles.

Hermoso said after the event that Rubiales’ words were not true.
