Why the stories on disgraced Spanish FA chief is trending among Liverpool fans
Luis Rubiales has been enemy number one for most football fans across the world over the past week after his shenanigans at the Women’s World Cup final.
He is the President of the Royal Spanish Football Federation and attended the final between Spain and England in that capacity.
After the final whistle, Rubiales held forward Jennifer Hermoso’s face and planted a kiss on her lips, about which she said in a live stream by one of the players, that she did not like that.
What ensued was a storm of public backlash against Rubiales, for whom a press conference was called by the Spanish FA a few days later, where he was expected to resign.
He took to the stage and instead of announcing his resignation, he did the opposite. He repeatedly stated that he would not resign.
It was then reported that the Spanish FA would sue Jenni Hermoso for ‘lying’ about the kiss being non-consensual.
Subsequently, FIFA’s Disciplinary Committee suspended Rubiales for 90 days and now the Secretary General of the Spanish FA has asked UEFA to suspend the federation itself, which would mean expulsion of all Spanish teams from European tournaments.
What are Liverpool fans saying about it?
Should it really come to an expulsion of all Spanish teams from European tournaments, however unlikely that may be, Liverpool fans are excited by the thought of getting a wild card entry into the Champions League.
Ryan: “So if Spanish teams are actually kicked out then there surely has to be a plan for filling in this 4 slots. Really hope they would pull the 5th place teams from England, Germany, France, and Italy or whoever the other 4 in the top 5 are.”

TikTokers spend 27 hours in stadium toilet to watch Champions League final for free

A pair of Belgian TikTokers say they spent 27 hours in an Allianz Arena toilet last weekend before watching Paris St Germain beat Inter Milan in the Champions League final for free.
Neal Remmerie and Senne Haverbeke told VRT News they managed to get into the Munich stadium the day before the match and hid in a toilet cubicle.
After sticking a homemade “Out of Order” sign on the door, the pair waited in silence for more than a day as stadium staff used the facility.
“We had a backpack with snacks and we played around on our phones to kill time,” Remmerie told the Belgian public broadcaster.
“The lights were on all the time and the sitting position was uncomfortable, so sleeping was almost impossible. That made it physically and mentally difficult.”
Once they heard fans starting to use the toilets on matchday, the pair left their bolthole and made their way past ticket inspectors to join the 86,600 crowd in the stands.
“We looked carefully at which security guard was paying the least attention. While on the phone and with food in our hands, we just walked on, and suddenly we were inside,” Remmerie added.
“PSG won 5-0 and we were also in the supporters’ section of the winning team. It was the most beautiful football match we have ever seen.”
The Allianz Arena and UEFA did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment.
Those fans who made their way into the match more conventionally had to pay anywhere from 90 to 950 euros ($100-$1,100) for their tickets.
