CORDOBA , Sept 26 ― Spain's women players want to “just stick to football” after they ended their boycott of the national team that started after former Spanish Federation boss Luis Rubiales kissed Jenni Hermoso on the lips following their World Cup triumph, midfielder Aitana Bonmati said.
They had time for only one training session before travelling to Gothenburg, where they battled to a cathartic 3-2 win over top ranked Sweden in their Nations League Group A showdown on Friday. “The first few days were complicated, with stress, anxiety, but as the days have gone by things have changed. We have now been able to focus on football, which is what we want.
Rubiales' actions not only overshadowed the team's World Cup triumph, but snowballed into a “Me Too” moment that had been building for years as the players had been trying to combat sexism and achieve parity with their male peers for nearly a decade.
