SPANISH FA chief Luis Rubiales has come under fire once more after footage emerged of him grabbing his crotch next to the Queen and her daughter.
The football official had already been slammed for grabbing and kissing Spain’s Jenni Hermose on the lips following La Roja’s 1-0 victory over England in Sydney.
Speaking on Spanish TV, the World Cup winner later revealed that she “did not enjoy” the kiss.
And Rubiales has now landed himself in even more hot water after he was captured thrusting his groin area in the direction of the players.
The 45-year-old committed the act as he was celebrating Spain’s World Cup win following the final whistle.
The shocking moment happened as he was stood next to Queen Letizia and her 16-year-old daughter Sofia.

The video was uploaded by Spanish politician Pablo Echenique, who has slammed Rubiales for his behaviour.
He said: “As well as giving Jenni Hermoso a non-consensual kiss on the lips while he grabbed her head, an act that could represent the commission of a crime, Rubiales also celebrated Spain’s victory grabbing his testicles next to the queen and her daughter.”
The Spanish FA chief has since responded to the criticism of the kiss and defended his actions on Radio Marca.
“The kiss with Jenni?”, he said. “There are idiots everywhere.

“When two people have an insignificant show of affection, we cannot pay attention to idiocy. We are champions, and with that, I stay”.
Echenique, who is a member of hard-left wing party Podemos, also posted a photo of Rubiales up to further tricks.
Having already inappropriately kissed Hermose on the lips, he was then captured giving match winner Olga Carmona a peck on the cheek.
Echenique uploaded this photo to his Twitter feed, with the caption: “Here he is too with Olga Carmona.
“It seems this guy was drooling over and stalking the whole team”.
Inside the changing room following the game, Rubiales was filmed announcing a trip to Ibiza as a reward for the players.
He then joked in front of Hermose, having already kissed her, and her teammates: “In Ibiza we’ll be celebrating Jenni and Luis Rubiales’ wedding.”
During a live stream for fans, Hermose admitted she hadn’t liked the kiss but said it was a “mutually and totally spontaneous gesture”.
She then insisted: “The president and I have a great relationship.”
Rubiales, however, revealed his frustration at the claims made towards him when speaking with Spanish programme El Partizado.
“It’s a peak of two friends celebrating something”, he spat.
“We’re not here for bulls***. Me, with everything I’ve been through, more bulls*** and more a**holes, no.
“Let’s ignore it and enjoy the good stuff and don’t even tell me things about losers who can’t see (the positive).
“It is a thing without evil. If there are fools, let them continue with their nonsense. There are more fools than windows. Let’s pay attention to those who are not fools.
“It is something without evil and nonsense.”
Rubiales has previously hit the headlines for other controversy, having been accused of using federation funds to pay for a sex party in early 2020.
He was outed by his uncle, whom he sacked as chief of staff at the FA’s Madrid headquarters that same year.
Juan Rubiales claimed that his nephew organised the “private party” with “eight or 10 young girls” and made him pay for it with association funds.
