Overview
- On his Luzu TV show Antes Que Nadie, Diego Leuco defended Morena Beltrán and argued that the issue is Pagani’s long-standing idolization and recurring way of speaking.
- In a video response, Pagani said he felt disrespected, denied claiming that women cannot comment on football, and argued his remarks were taken out of context.
- Pagani highlighted his 60-year career and working-class origins, said he needed no patronage, and rejected being judged for personal opinions.
- Addressing Leuco’s claim of past favoritism at Clarín, Pagani countered with his own account involving Alfredo Leuco and cited experiences around the 1978 World Cup.
- The exchange featured personal reproaches and a challenge to resolve the matter privately, with no apology reported as the dispute widens a gender and generational debate across Argentine media.
