Spanish TV reporter puts her goalkeeper boyfriend Iker Casillas on the spot

Own goal: Sara Carbonero pulled no punches when quizzing Iker Casillas after last night’s match

As a Spanish television sports reporter, Sara Carbonero is renowned for asking awkward questions.

But now questions are being asked about her relationship with Spanish goalkeeper Iker Casillas after she was accused of distracting him during last night's defeat at the hands of Switzerland.

Carbonero is covering the tournament for the Telecinco channel and although Casillas said suggestions she might destabilise the team were "nonsense", she was not far from the touchline when he let in what looked like a fairly easy shot.

Their relationship did not prevent her asking the question in the minds of many Spanish fans when she confronted her boyfriend live on camera afterward.

Casillas replied: "I don't know what to say. I don't know if this defeat will have consequences."
