Responding to the incident between Leon and Caracas at the weekend, Espanyol wrote: 'We want to express our total discontent and condemnation of the events that took place last Sunday, during the derby played at CE Dani Jarque between RCD Espanyol and FC Barcelona.
'During a play during the match, FC Barcelona player María Pilar Leon, in the middle of a scuffle with our player, Daniela Caracas, made a gesture that violated our player's privacy.
Barca's Mapi Leon was waiting for a corner to come in when she touched Espanyol's Daniel Caracas in a sensitive area.
Leon remained on the field for all 90 minutes of Barcelona's 2-0 win at their rivals' ground while Caracas was taken off after 82 minutes on a yellow card.
In addition, we have made the Club's legal services available to our player in case she wishes to take legal action.
