Victoria on David's alleged affair: World was against us

The couple, who had been denying claims of David having an affair while playing for Real Madrid in 2003, finally opened up about the allegation in recent docuseries. In the documentary, the former Spice Girl can be heard saying, "It was the hardest period for us because it felt like the world was against us. She added, "Here's the thing - we were against each other if I'm completely honest."

Victoria further said: "You know, up until Madrid, sometimes it felt like us against everybody else. But we were together, we were connected, we had each other.
