Luis Rubiales' behaviour at the medal ceremony prompted a massive backlash.

The Spanish FA’s handling of the situation has also been criticised and Rubiales made more unwanted headlines with his behaviour during the trophy presentation.

He was a little too familiar with many of the players as they accepted their medals, hugging them, kissing them on the cheek and even lifting some players off the ground – though it was his embrace with Hermoso that really raised eyebrows. After sharing a hug, Rubiales grabbed the 33-year-old Pachuca forward by the head and then planted a kiss on her lips.Hermoso was wearing Alexia Putellas’ No.11 shirt did not appear too happyBarcelona’s teenage forward Salma Paralluelo also filmed the celebrations from inside the victorious dressing room and captured Rubiales’ rather unconcerned reaction to the furore he had created.

The Spanish players were trying to convince Rubiales to reward them with a holiday for winning the World Cup and he finally relented, saying they would go to Ibiza.
