It’s not a secret that Melissa Martinez He is a fan of Junior and from time to time he ‘throws taunts’ at the other Colombian soccer teams, it is also not hidden that Faustino ‘el Tino’ Asprilla He played and is a fan of Nacional, being very controversial when he talks about his rivals. But no one imagined that a conversation about the Qatar 2022 World Cup, from the Argentina-Saudi Arabia match, would end on such a “thorny” topic.
And it is that the ‘purslane’ fans feel very upset when they are reminded the painful defeat against Kashima Antlers in the semifinal of the 2016 Club World Cup, frustrating the long-awaited final against Real Madrid. For this reason, what the soledeña said did not sit well with the former player from Tulueño, but he ended up mentioning to the journalist, indirectly, the team of his ex-husband Matías Mier.
‘Meli’, who is at the headquarters of the World Cup and appears in several ESPN Colombia programs Making his reports, last Tuesday, November 22, he gave his opinion on the surprise of the Saudi victory over the gauchos. But the comparison with the paisa team and its failure on Japanese soil led everything to go awry.

Melissa Martínez spoke of the Nacional Club World Cup and ‘el Tino’ Asprilla responded strongly:
In Melissa’s analysis, about the fall of Argentina in the debut in Qatarwanted to relate to the fall of Nacional, although he did not want to mention it and that sounded like it was a ‘spicy’ comment:
“(The defeat) Very close to our history, with teams that I don’t want to mention specifically, who went to play abroad and thought about semifinals or finals with big-name rivals. And then, they were already thinking about facing Real Madrid and they hadn’t faced the Kashima, the small teams along the way. And that was what happened to the Argentina team…”
And at that point he mentioned the “albiceleste” and the surprise winner of the first date: “Argentina was thinking that the rival of the group was Poland, because Mexico had been blurred from their friendly matches by a generational change that has not happened in a good way. And they forgot Saudi Arabia, along the way, and ended up being hit with reality.”.
Well, ‘el Tino’ was hard and to the point, remembering that Nacional won the Club World Cup by winning the 2016 Copa Libertadores, something that other Colombian clubs have not done: “One to think about playing against Real Madrid, you have to win the Copa Libertadores, did you hear?”. At this, a sarcastic laugh came from the journalist, who is a follower of Junior:
“(Laughter) Yes, yes, yes. But, to win the Intercontinental or any other tournament, because no one takes that merit, you have to go step by step. And I say it as a review, I wish my team, at some point, would have had the chance to play (win) a Copa Libertadores and have the possibility of those confrontations with those teams.

And since Asprilla cannot keep anything, she came out with a “low blow”, also amid laughter, asking Martínez if she was a fan of Santa Fe. All this because the presenter’s ex-husband plays for the Bogota red team. “Which is your team, Junior or Santa Fe?”said the history of the Colombian team.
On the air, it seemed that Melissa Martínez calmly took what Faustino ‘el Tino’ Asprilla told her, and ended her speech with laughter like this: “How bad that ‘Tino’! Remember, I only had one (laughs)… What aggressiveness!”.
This is not the first time that this has happened, since in the sports programs in which the journalist participateshis companions have left many ‘vainazos’ and comments on Mier. But this time, yeah having spent a couple of months of separation And with an international match in the middle, Asprilla’s response seemed very strong.
We will have to wait if these types of jokes continue to be handled on the air or if they change a bit, understanding that now even the fans of the journalist for Junior and the former player for Nacional have gotten involved.
