Mapi León of Barcelona has been handed a two-match ban for allegedly violating the intimacy of Espanyol's Daniela Caracas during a match in February. León refutes the accusations, stating it was a minor conflict, and is considering legal action for defamation. Despite her team's appeal to the Spanish Football Federation and request for a suspension of the ban, she has already served one match and is set to serve the second during an upcoming game against Sevilla. The incident has stirred significant controversy and media coverage regarding its implications.
Espanyol condemned the act as 'unacceptable,' asserting that León's behavior violated the intimacy of Caracas during a set piece in their fixture.
León described the incident as a 'simple row,' claiming the media coverage is a manipulation intended to damage her reputation.
