The RFEF wanted the Spain forward to release a video down-playing his unsolicited kiss 

ElDesmarque have had access to the statements that Alexia Putellas, Irene Paredes and Misa Rodríguez made this Monday in court as part of the trial for the 'Rubiales case.'

The world champions explained in detail the pressures they suffered and have spoken specifically about events that allegedly took place on the flight back to Spain after winning the World Cup. Evidently, after the scandal of Rubiales' non-consensual kiss with Jenni Hermoso.

According to Rafa Mainez on the Twitch channel of the aforementioned media outlet, the three players have stated before the judge that Luis Rubiales allegedly tearfully asked Jenni Hermoso to record a video after the unsolicited kiss, playing down the importance of what had happened. 

In addition, they have also detailed that there were more meetings, both on the field and on the plane, with Jenni Hermoso in which pressure was put on the player to record the video. The players, as witnesses, have acknowledged that at first, moved by the euphoria of being world champions, they wanted to play down the importance of the events, but then they realised how badly their teammate had been hurt and the seriousness of what had happened. 

The first player to realise that what had happened was no laughing matter was Irene Paredes. The defender asked all her teammates not to make jokes about it, according to Rafa Mainez. At the same time, the three world champions have assured that the famous video recorded on the bus was edited to favour Luis Rubiales.
