The curious anecdote of Chapu Nocioni with Facu Campazzo in a restaurant in Madrid

Andrés Nocioni recalled a hilarious anecdote from his time at Real Madrid, when he was teammates with Facundo Campazzo.

In a relaxed chat on the program "Desde el Respeto" on Vorterix, the former Argentine National Team forward recounted how the Cordoban point guard, in a situation that started as a game, ended up losing his wedding ring during an outing to a restaurant.

"Give me the ring, I'll put it in the glass with the gin and tonic. When you drink, it hits your teeth and you refill the glass. When I came back, they had pushed the tables together. You know he lost my ring," the former player said. What started as a joke among friends ended in an unexpected problem.

Faced with the mishap, Chapu found himself in an awkward situation, as he had to find a way to explain to his wife, Paula, why he no longer wore the wedding ring on his finger. Determined to avoid a direct confession, he opted for a quieter solution. He contacted the jeweler who had designed the original ring and asked him to make an exact replica.

But the story didn't end there. Just a day before receiving the new ring, he experienced an even more unusual episode. "The day before the ring arrived, we went out with Facu (Campazzo) and went to a terrace where we had to take off our shoes to sit on the couches."

Then Chapu added: "He grabbed my shoes and threatened to throw them. At that moment, it came from my soul to say: ‘Look Facundo, then you'll have the ring incident...’ I stopped there, but Paula is very quick and said: ‘Where's the ring?’," Chapu recounted.

At that moment, Paula suspected something was wrong and acted quickly. She put on her shoes, took a taxi, and without further words, took Nocioni's house key and wallet.

The result: Chapu was stranded in Madrid, without belongings and unable to access his car, which was stored in a garage.
