Espanyol have insisted that the “footage is crystal clear” and dismissed the claims of the Barcelona defender Mapi León after she denied inappropriately touching opponent Daniela Caracas in the crotch area during the city derby on Sunday.
The club’s next steps, including any decision over whether to take legal action, will be guided by the wishes of Caracas, with the Spanish Liga F yet to make any public statement. León was included in Barcelona’s squad to play the Copa del Reina on Wednesday night.
