What did Maxi López say about the role of footballers' partners?
López was direct when analyzing how media exposure affects a player's life. "I don't know if the partner determines so much; what speaks for the footballer is the level and the club he represents," he stated in the interview.
He also maintained that when the footballer's partner belongs to the media world, visibility increases: "If you combine the famous and media side, it's a trigger for the media. I went through it, I lived it, I know what it is," he expressed.

After his statements, the topic was immediately connected to Valu Cervantes's resignation from the show. According to Ángel de Brito on LAM (América TV), the departure would have been at the request of Enzo Fernández, who asked her to return to London.
De Brito stated: "She resigned because of Enzo, because he asked her to come back. He's super jealous," Panelist Yanina Latorre added that the family was divided due to school matters and the distance between Europe and Argentina.
