Press controversy

During the 2010 FIFA World Cup it was alleged that Carbonero, reporting during the match between Spain and Switzerland, had distracted Casillas, causing the unexpected Swiss victory.[4][5] The allegations were made in the English press, originally by The Guardian and The Times, prompting the Spanish newspapers El Mundo,[6] El País[7] and the popular sports daily Marca[8] to all run articles suggesting that the claims were preposterous and untrue.[9]

Questions were also raised about her journalistic integrity after she undertook to interview her boyfriend Casillas after the match. As a result of the controversy Carbonero in Spain became "one of the most photographed people of the World Cup".[10]

Personal life

In July 2009, Carbonero, the girlfriend of Spanish goalkeeper Iker Casillas, was voted "The Sexiest Reporter in the World"[11] by FHM USA.[5][12]
