@Ernestchima1 said:

“It seems like the Spanish FA president missed the personal space and consent memo. Maybe next time, he should stick to handing out trophies instead of unwanted kisses. Jenni’s skills are on the field, not in dodging unsolicited advances!”

@robert_mynett remarked:

“Serious assault. Should be taken to court.”

@PizzaRip added:

“He needs to go, especially after all of the players vs FA issues the last few years. They have the leverage now to force changes.”

@justchrisxcv asked:

“Light sexual assault on live television? And nothing’s done? Shame.”

@ohosman66 remarked:

“This was not good. So cringe and awkward. He is an opportunist taking advantage of the lady’s moment of success and joy.”
