Hermoso said she "did not enjoy it" when Rubiales kissed her on the lips after she received her winner's medal on Sunday. The Spanish FA chief did so after congratulating the 33-year-old for her role in defeating England 1-0 in the World Cup final in Sydney. Hermoso was handed her medal by FIFA president Gianni Infantino and was greeted by several other dignitaries. Among them was Rubiales, who gave Hermoso a hug before briefly speaking to her and then placing his hands on the back of her head and pulling her in to kiss her on the lips. Rubiales said in an apology video posted online on Monday afternoon: "There is something that I regret and it is everything that has happened between me and a player, with whom I have a magnificent relationship – just as I do with the other players. "This is an incident in which I have surely been wrong, I have to admit it because at a moment of maximum emotion and without any bad intention, and without any bad faith, what happened did so in a really spontaneous manner." The Spanish FA chief added: "Here (in the stadium) it was something natural, normal – so we did not understand the commotion. There was no bad faith. Elsewhere, it seems that an uproar has occurred, of course, if there are people who have felt damaged by this I have to apologise, there is no other choice other than learning from this and understanding that when you are president of an institution as important as the Spanish Federation you have to be more careful in procedure and these type of issues." It represents a U-turn for Rubiales, who told Radio Marca on Sunday that the incident was "a minor show of affection" and called those condemning his actions "idiots". He bullis){kind=link}
