Rubiales flies to Colonia after settling with Lopetegui

Luis Rubiales has taken a plane early in the afternoon of this Friday at Barajas airport to attend the final of the Europa League that will be played by Sevilla and Inter tonight in Cologne. Rubiales wants to show his support for the Spanish team and especially his coach, Julen Lopetegui, after a long time of enmity due to the events that occurred on the eve of the World Cup in Russia, when the Basque coach signed for Real Madrid two days after the start of the World Cup. That circumstance ended his stage as coach and separated him from Rubiales, who felt betrayed.

But time heals everything, and Lopetegui has regained good relations with Luis Rubiales. The Sevilla coach, in addition, is a member of the Assembly that must elect a president in the Federation (RFEF), a position for which Rubiales aspires to be re-elected, and to which he arrived by appointment of Ángel Villar. The coronavirus has had something to do with Rubiales and Lopetegui filing their differences. And it is that the Basque coach is also a member of the Board of Directors of the RFEF, and it was in the meetings of this body of the Federation that Rubiales presides when both, during the coronavirus crisis, they had the opportunity to work together to overcome the demands of the pandemic. That was what brought them back together.

In any case, hairs to the sea. Rubiales has traveled to Germany to support Sevilla and nothing makes him more excited now than to see a Spanish team lift a European trophy, especially if that team is the one coached by the former coach, Julen Lopetegui, the coach who, up to now, has given him the most trouble during his time at the RFEF …, with permission from Luis Enrique's quarrel with Robert Moreno.
