Original Title: [Misa Rodríguez] Spain Women’s Team GK has released a statement responding to the accusations of the journalists Miguel Serrano, accusing her of unprofessionally and being in a relationship with also Spain player Irene Paredes (translation and explanation in the body text).
This week, Spain Women’s Team coach Montse Tomé gave the list for the friendly matches Spain is going to play in this international break, in said list, neither Misa or Irene were included. This journalist claims in this video that Misa wasn’t included due to behaving unprofessionally to the way Tomé has treated Irene, implying that they’re a couple (Irene Paredes is married and has a kid), despite acknowledging that he doesn’t know them. Also says that this would never happen in the Men’s team because only in the Women’s team players are couples. He also calles the players whimsical and says that they want to do whatever they feel like.
Misa statement, written by her agent Rafaela Pimenta:
“Mr. Serrano says that he has never met Misa or knows anything about her, but he feels the right to have an opinion about her that questions her professionalism, and says without any base what he thinks is inside Misa’s head, telling lies about a young woman that only deserves respect for her achievements and hard work.
Is shocking that in 2025 there’s still men that think they can talk about women like pieces in a board game. I pity that the media keep giving time to this kind of misogyny after what the players have been through in the incident with Rubiales. The responsible media inspire and guide, the prejudicious media lie and destroy. The sistem must stop the diffusion of this kind of content. Mr Serrano claims on his biography that uses his life to “annoy people”, but our daughters, sisters and wifes deserve something better. No one should be allowed to cross the line of respect.
As Madonna said “their biggest offense was to stay”. We will do the same and won’t give up. But it would be nice if we could talk about topics related to women with a level unlike the one we see in tbe video.”
