A Spanish prosecutor has asked for a retrial after the High Court sentence convicting the former head of the country's football federation, Luis Rubiales, for kissing national team player Jenni Hermoso without her consent.

World champions 18 months ago, Spain were expected to dominate this summer's Euros. Now, issues on and off the pitch have caught up with La Roja.

Hannah Hampton and Lauren James were in fine form as England triumphed 1-0 over a toothless Spain in the Nations League.

England manager Sarina Wiegman said England showed they can "compete with best" after defeating Spain 1-0 in the second Nations League game on Wednesday at Wembley Stadium.

Ali Krieger reacts to the Luis Rubiales conviction for sexual assault and explains why she views the punishment as just a "slap on the wrist."

Spain midfielder Aitana Bonmatí says Luis Rubiales' conviction for sexual assault sets a precedent moving forward and hopes it will lead to changes for women in and out of football.

England manager Sarina Wiegman said it shows "remarkable courage" for Jenni Hermoso to appeal against Luis Rubiales' acquittal for coercion and reiterated her support for the Spanish team ahead of facing them on Wednesday at Wembley Stadium.

Spain and Arsenal defender Laia Codina has said her national team are "stronger" after the off-pitch difficulties they have faced in recent years, most notably the sexual assault of Jenni Hermoso by former federation chief Luis Rubiales.

The highest court in global sport dismissed an appeal by former Spanish football chief Luis Rubiales on Friday after he was banned from any football-related activity.

Spain's High Court said on Thursday it had found former football federation boss Luis Rubiales guilty of kissing player Jenni Hermoso without her consent and set a fine of over €10,000 ($10,434.00), but acquitted him of coercion.
