On the third day of the trial against the former President of the Football Federation, Luis Rubiales, for the non-consensual kiss to Jenni Hermoso, the court will hear testimonies from the footballer's brother and her teammate in the national team, Misa Rodríguez, who is also the goalkeeper for Real Madrid. Both have already supported her version during the investigation phase.

Additionally, this session at the National Court will include statements from José María Timón, who was the chief of staff and a trusted person of the former federation president. Following him, Rafael del Amo, the former president of the National Women's Football Committee and president of the Navarra Federation, will testify.

During Tuesday's session, national coach Luis de la Fuente testified before the prosecutor, who hinted at the possibility of requesting his indictment for "false testimony." The prosecutor noted contradictions between the coach's account and that of the press officer, Patricia Pérez, who placed him in Luis Rubiales' office where the exculpatory report was drafted. Meanwhile, Pablo García Cuervo, former communications director of the FEF, described Jenni Hermoso as "manipulable and influenceable."

Luis Rubiales, facing a request for two and a half years in prison and accused of sexual assault and coercion against Jenni Hermoso, is on trial alongside former men's national team sporting director Albert Luque, former women's team coach Jorge Vilda, and former RFEF Marketing head Rubén Rivera, for allegedly pressuring the player to justify the kiss. Jenni Hermoso reaffirmed on Monday that there was no consent, that she felt "disrespected," and emphasized that the person kissing her was her boss, stating "this should not happen in any social setting."
