Luis Rubiales is resigning and he still doesn’t understand why

FC Barcelona have not opened their mouths about the Rubiales case, but their fans were the first to call for the resignation of the president of the federation. With shouts of 'Rubiales resign', all those present at the Johan Cruyff stadium showed their dissatisfaction with the still highest representative of Spanish football. Yesterday, several presidents of the regional federations spoke to each other and showed their disagreement with him continuing in office for another minute. He was cornered and today he will resign. He had to, if only to avoid damaging the image of Spanish football around the world. And not only that, the shouts from the Johan Cruyff Stadium were the first warning of what could happen this weekend in all the stadiums of La Liga.

Rubiales may have done a good job in grassroots football, in the regional teams, in the various national teams or on the road to the 2030 World Cup, but not everything is enough. It is not enough to kiss a footballer because you feel like it, to lift another one on your back, or rest the hand with which you have just touched your private parts on the shoulder of Queen Leticia. Not everything goes, Mr Rubiales.

Unfortunately, his words and gestures are more typical of Torrente than of a president. And that has meant that these terrible images have been shown more often than the victory of the female footballers.

They tell me that throughout yesterday he began to contemplate the option of resigning, that the threat of FIFA was decisive, but that it was difficult for him to make the decision. He didn't quite understand it, that's just the way he is', explains a person close to the president. Well look, Mr Rubiales, I'll explain it to you: nobody has the right to kiss a footballer on the mouth because they feel like it, nor to insult those who criticised him or apologise in such a dismal way. Ah! And even less to touch his virile member in the VIP box in front of everyone. The sum of it all was immediate resignation. But it took five days.
