Controversy is growing after a player was caught making inappropriate physical contact with an opponent during a Spanish women's soccer game.

According to the BBC on the 11th (Korea Standard Time), FC Barcelona and Espanyol, a rival team based in Barcelona, played Liga F, Spain's top women's soccer league, on the 9th.

In the 15th minute of the first half, when Barcelona was preparing for a set-piece attack, Barcelona's Spanish national defender Mafireon and Espanyol's Colombian national defender Daniela Caracas competed and fought once.

Later, a video showed Leon touching the groin of Caracas.

The scene quickly spread on social networking services (SNS), with some posts mocking Caracas.

Espanyol's team issued a statement criticizing, "[Leon's] conduct is unacceptable to us and should not be overlooked," adding, "Leon violated Caracas' privacy." "We are concerned that the media's attention is focused on other issues that are not related to the seriousness of the problematic behavior," he said.

Leon countered that there was no inappropriate physical contact. "As you can see in the video, Caracas contacted me first, and I just touched my leg in response to it, saying, 'What's wrong?' "My actions were part of the game," he said in a statement. "I have never touched Caracas' secret parts, and I never intended to do this," he said. "The harassment that Caracas is being subjected to on social media has nothing to do with me, and I support her with all my heart."

Leon, a lesbian who came out in 2018, led Barcelona to five league wins and three UEFA Women's Champions League (UWCL). 안전놀이터
