• Alexia Putellas and Irene Paredes give evidence to trial
• Both say Jenni Hermoso was in tears on flight home

Teammates of Jenni Hermoso corroborated her account of being distraught and angered by the forced World Cup kiss from the former Spanish federation president Luis Rubiales when they testified at his sexual assault trial on Thursday.

Rubiales, who has yet to testify at the trial in Madrid, has previously claimed that Hermoso agreed to the kiss that took place during the presentation ceremony after Spain won the 2023 Women’s World Cup final in Sydney. Hermoso testified on Monday that the kiss was unsolicited. She also said she was repeatedly pressured by Rubiales and his officials to say otherwise.
