On July 11, 2010, moments before the 2010 FIFA World Cup Final between Spain and the Netherlands played in Johannesburg, South Africa, Marquet rushed onto the field and attempted to place a Barretina on the World Cup trophy before being apprehended by several security guards. He was ordered to pay a ZAR2,000 fine for the incident.[2]
On September 11, 2010, Marquet ran onto the field before the second half of the Hungarian Derby between Újpest and Ferencváros. He held a Catalan flag, with the message "Kubala [a former Barcelona and Ferencváros player] forever". Before the security guards caught him, he kicked the ball into the Ferencváros goal.[3] Security handed him over to the police and he was taken into custody for four hours, before being released and fined approximately EUR€350.

During the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest in Norway, Marquet invaded the stage during the Spanish performance of Daniel Diges and took part in the choreography. He subsequently left the stage at the venue and was immediately escorted away from the concert area and taken to Sandvika police station, where he was arrested and fined NOK15,000.
