Julio Salinas notes: “The 75th Gran Gala MD, at the height of its prestige”

AT THE HEIGHT OF ITS PRESTIGE

The 75th Grand MD Gala

Last Monday, February 6, MNAC held the 75th edition of the Mundo Deportivo Grand Gala, an event highlighted in the calendar for all of us who have been sports professionals. Due to its prestige and tradition, according to the newspaper specialized in sports, dean of our press, MD revives its own tradition with an elegant, agile event connected to emotions that, from its pages or through of digital media, always has the ability to move the reader. The Grand Gala had, this time, the newcomer Martina Klein and Àlex Corretja act as brilliant presenters. They assume that responsibility with closeness, good vibes and, at the same time, the professionalism that characterizes them in all its aspects. The winners of the various categories paraded around the stage and had the opportunity, encouraged by the majestic chauffeur couple, to recount anecdotes about their experiences in the world of sport. Everything had a special glow, from the chance to see again the smile of a ball magician like Ronaldinho, to the election of Rudy Fernández and Alexia Putellas as the best athletes of the year. Until the next edition, which will surely again be at the level of the best gala in our sport.

WORLD CLUBS

Real Madrid puts the finishing touches

Although the rivals have not been the most attractive, Real Madrid once again fulfilled their demands and signed up for a new Club World Cup, the eighth counting the old Intercontinentals. In Rabat, with plenty of local support in the stands, the white club put an end to their double last season, where they won the League and their fourteenth Champions League title, in a tournament remembered because of its suspense. This time, there is no need to suffer in the semifinal, against Al Ahly, or in the final, against Al Hilal.

SHOW ON LE BRON’S RECORD

LeBron James surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s all-time NBA regular season point record of 38,390. The milestone once again showed the management of the NBA and how much our old football (Champions or League) has to learn from its meaning on the show. They were all there, even Jabbar himself, a record holder since 1984.

MATÍAS MESSI

Be careful of the surroundings

This past week it has become clear once again that one of the big concerns athletes should have today is keeping an eye on their environment. The mistake, this time, was from Matías Messi, however much he later apologized. Let them know brothers, boyfriends, husbands/wives of… that they are not the artists. Put the mobile away.

A GOOD 80’S DIES

Marcos Alonso left quickly

I had the opportunity to meet Marcos Alonso, father of the current Barça football player, at Atlético de Madrid. Then I met him on another occasion, for example at a paddle tennis tournament. I was shocked by the news of his death at the age of 63. From MD, a big hug to your whole family.
