Aitana Bonmati, the Ballon d'Or winner, spoke about the impact of the Luis Rubiales case following his conviction for sexual assault against Jenni Hermoso. Bonmati believes the players' fighting spirit during this incident has not been in vain, and hopes it catalyzes positive changes both in football and broader society. She stresses that the case is not just about football but also resonates with various workplaces. Even though Rubiales was acquitted of coercion, Bonmati feels the trial has served a purpose in advocating respect for women and their rights, empowering them further.
I hope that this case makes changes in our country, in our football, to respect us better as footballers. But it's also a global case.
We didn't only win on the pitch but also off the pitch. We are continuously fighting for our rights and women's rights.
