In the current edition of Operación Triunfo, which is broadcast on Amazon Prime Video, there is a contestant named Álex Márquez. This is one of the ones that is playing the most due to his approach to Denna, despite him having a girlfriend. This has led to his traumatic breakup.
The contestant's name is very common and he shares it with a great figure in motorcycling: Álex Márquez, MotoGP rider with Gresini Racing and brother of Marc Márquez. Due to this coincidence, the athlete's entry to the Academy as a visit has been organized. "I can already say it... Today at 3:00 p.m. I'm going to enter the OT academy! I'm very excited," said the Catalan in X.
The Operación Triunfo account has not missed the opportunity to play with coincidences, anticipating the possibility that both Álex Márquez and Álex Márquez will take a photo and make reference to the popular meme of the two Spider-Mans pointing at each other.
This unusual relationship began to develop after an incident on social media involving the pilot and the contestant of the show who coincidentally shares his name. It was last December 20, 2023, when Álex Márquez, the singer, was involved in a love scandal that culminated in a painful breakup.
This event catapulted his name to social media trends. Confusion did not take long to occur, as many users believed that the commotion had to do with the MotoGP rider. Álex Márquez himself, the pilot, reacted with humor in his X account, jokingly commenting on the situation: "What a mess Álex Márquez has made for me...".
Far from ending there, this coincidence of names aroused the curiosity of the Gresini Racing driver, who began to closely follow the adventures of his namesake in the musical reality show. Noemí Galera, the director of Operación Triunfo, was quick to take advantage of the opportunity to organize a meeting between the two Álex Márquez. Through X, she proposed to the pilot to visit the academy to meet the contestant. "Would you like to come see him?" wrote Galera, to which the pilot, showing extraordinary enthusiasm, agreed.
