Barcelona coach Pere Romeu has said Mapi León has his full support despite not playing the defender in Wednesday's Copa de la Reina game following last weekend's incident against Espanyol.

Spanish women’s soccer club Espanyol has expressed “complete discontent” towards the behavior of Barcelona Femení player Mapi León after the two teams faced each other on Sunday.

Barcelona defender Mapi Leon has denied touching an opponent’s “private parts” after a video surfaced of her touching the crotch of an opponent. The former Spain Women star has been accused of “violating the privacy” of Espanyol ’s Daniela Caracas following a confrontation on Sunday in the Catalan derby.
