Barcelona and Spain legend Andres Iniesta sends out strong statement against Luis Rubiales

Barcelona legend Andres Iniesta has spoken out against Luis Rubiales and says the president of the Spanish FA’s actions have tarnished the team’s win at the Women’s World Cup.

Rubiales forced a kiss on Jenni Hermoso and then insisted it was consensual. Hermoso has made it clear it was not and has also said she’s been put under pressure to explain his actions.

The scandal has continued with Rubiales refusing to resign his position but subsequently being suspended by FIFA pending the outcome of an investigation.

Iniesta has now had his say and made his disappointment at the sorry saga plain.
