In a recent discussion, the former Cruz Azul player reminded his teammate that he should have participated in the Club World Cup with América in 2005, but was dismissed. In response, Pollo Ortiz pointed out that what hurt him the most was missing that competition. Chaco, for his part, proudly recalled that shortly after being dismissed, he managed to defeat América with Pachuca in 2007 and become champion.
The controversy between Pollo and Chaco erupted when the latter pointed out that the Águilas of América have not performed well in the Club World Cup, experiencing embarrassing moments in the tournament. Meanwhile, Club América positioned itself at the top of the Clausura 2025 tournament after defeating Atlas 3-1, which rekindled their chances of becoming champions of Liga MX.
Following the victory of the Águilas, opinions about the team were divided, sparking intense debates such as in the show La Última Palabra, where Christian Giménez and Raoul Ortiz heatedly discussed the team's performance. This was triggered by a question about whether Pollo Ortiz was hurt by América's absence in the Club World Cup.
