Since their World Cup victory, the Spanish team's success has been overshadowed by Spanish football president Luis Rubiales non-consensually kissing player Jenni Hermoso.

Hermoso described the actions of Rubiales as an "impulse-driven, sexist out-of-place act without any consent". Rubiales denies this and says it was "spontaneous" and "mutual".

The kiss has caused a backlash across football and in Spain, where protesters have called for action "to demand a sport free of sexist violence".

On the Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson speaks to football commentator and founding member of Women in Football, Jacqui Oatley, about how far the treatment and representation of women in the sport has come, and how far it still has to go.

Plus, Spanish journalist Maria Ramírez on why the kiss has sparked its own hashtag a #SeAcabó and a MeToo moment that reaches far beyond football.
