Lucy Bronze described the Spanish players who were involved in the trial of Luis Rubiales as “incredibly brave” and said England players stood with them in their fight for change, on the day the former head of the Spanish football federation was found guilty of sexual assault.
Speaking before England play Portugal on Friday and Spain on Wednesday in the Nations League, and shortly before the verdict, Bronze, who was a teammate of several of the players who participated in the trial during her time at Barcelona, said: “I am good friends with a lot of the players involved around it. From my point of view, knowing them, it’s been incredible that these players have had to go through that.
