Jorge Vilda, the former coach of Spain women's soccer team, has told a judge that ex-soccer federation president Luis Rubiales did not ask him to put pressure on Jenni Hermoso following the outcry that erupted after Rubiales kissed the player.

Rubiales, who took the stand on Tuesday, denies charges of sexual assault and coercion, insisting the kiss was consensual, while Hermoso said it was not.

Members of Spain's women's national team have testified in a Madrid court this week as the trial over Luis Rubiales' forced kiss on Jenni Hermoso at the 2023 Women's World Cup final begins.
