During the program Tercer Grado Deportivo, sports journalist David Faitelson and commentator Marion Reimers had a disagreement discussing the 2024 Ballon d'Or awarded to a Manchester City player, Rodrigo.
Faitelson lamented that Marion insinuated Lionel Messi did not deserve to have won one of the Ballon d'Ors in the past, to which Reimers recalled that in 2020 Robert Lewandowski deserved the award more. This sparked an exchange of opinions between them, with Marion expressing her viewpoint and Faitelson trying to assist her amidst the controversy.
David Faitelson, known for his irreverent style in Mexican sports journalism, has been involved in several controversies throughout his career. On this occasion, his discussion with Marion Reimers was one of the highlights of the program, where discrepancies arose regarding the merits in the awarding of the Ballon d'Or and personal opinions about notable players in previous seasons.
The clash of opinions between Faitelson and Reimers is not new, as they have had public disagreements in the past, such as when the journalist questioned the narrator for addressing gender issues in sports. Despite their differences, both professionals continue to participate in sports programs and generate debates among the audience.
