Hope it's not true. Apparently, he denies it, but, he also denied the severity of his foot injury util recently.

Anyway, here's what's been said about the alledge separation:

Thanks Batibird. Hope you could see my reply. Regarding the 'separation', thought he himself denied the rumors with a local newspapers about 2 weeks ago, and his son Thiago also clarified in a very recent interview that there is no such a thing. I found the original interview in Spanish which I cannot fully understand.

Wonder someone could do an English translation?? Thanks!

Good find! Yeah...it'd be great to get it translated.

I used Google translator for the accompanying text. It was way terrible! :D

Hi Batibird, yeah google translator is pretty useless! Dunno anyone on this forum knows Spanish? or anyone active at all apart from you and me!? This used to be such a wonderful site with so many lovely members. Where have they all gone??

I've tried to get a translation, but this is all I could get. Not good but better than nothing. I think he's denying the rumours and I hope he's right. It would be awful to think of Bati and Irina splitting up.

The video is on here...

In addition, in dialog with the cycle american breakfast, said that there is no third in discord in the middle.

The continuing injury made that " °The Bati" had to leave the football. It is the top scorer of the Argentine national team.

Hi Katy
Thanks so much for your effort! It definitely helped a lot for us non-Spanish speakers understand. I could now get 80%-90% of his interview. The only confusing part (phrase) is 'killing his granddad'??? think it was something lost in translation, maybe..

Also it's nice to see you again Katy and hope to see you more in future!

P.S Thiago is for sure a nice and handsome young man.
