Rubiales kiss ‘should never have happened’, says Fifa chief Infantino
Fifa president Gianni Infantino said on Thursday that Luis Rubiales’ kiss on the mouth of Spanish women’s football star Jenni Hermoso “should never have happened”.
In his first reaction to the incident which happened at the presentation ceremony following Spain’s win over England in the Women’s World Cup final, Infantino said the behaviour of Spanish federation boss Rubiales had “spoiled” the occasion.

“And what continued to happen in the following days. This should never have happened.”
