The latest news of Real Madrid directly point to Florentino Pérez who was specifically singled out by Juanma Castaño after the Merengue team released a video this Thursday, September 24 with interventions from the journalist and from El Partidazo de COPE compiled over the past ten years. Castaño responded on air hours later and stated that he will maintain his editorial line despite the confrontation.

The episode marks a new step in a conflict that had escalated on September 22 when the club issued a statement against Castaño for a column published in ABC. The journalist ended up apologizing for comparing Real Madrid TV to the newspaper Gara, although he maintained his criticisms of the official channel's functioning.

Florentino Pérez, directly singled out by Juanma Castaño

Juanma Castaño believes that behind the new video is Florentino Pérez and described the response from the official club accounts as unprecedented. In his statement, he also compared this conflict with previous disputes of the Madrid president with Aleksander Ceferin, UEFA president, and José Ignacio Sánchez Galán, Iberdrola president.

The journalist also linked the conflict to what had happened days earlier in the Metropolitano box. Castaño had shared that Florentino Pérez expressed his displeasure upon learning that Enrique Riquelme would be present in the presidential box during the derby against Atlético Madrid, a match that ended with a 2-1 defeat for Madrid.

According to the communicator himself, the dissemination of that information had increased tension with the president. In response to the video, he reiterated that he will not change his way of analyzing the club's current affairs and summarized his position with a direct statement: “the problem with Madrid is not me”.

Real Madrid had already responded to his column in ABC

The immediate origin of the confrontation lies in the article published by Castaño on September 22. Real Madrid publicly rejected the comparison between its official television and Gara and announced that it reserved the right to take appropriate measures.

Castaño later corrected that comparison and apologized, though he made it clear that he did not change his assessment of Real Madrid TV. Two days later, the official Madrid account posted a video of over three minutes compiling previous statements by the journalist, once again escalating the confrontation.

No mercy for the Madrid president

The journalist also placed the debate in the team's sporting and institutional situation and rejected being responsible for issues such as the team's performance in LaLiga, the Super League, or the controversies surrounding the club. The exchange has transitioned from a disagreement over media coverage to a public confrontation followed in Spain between a sports entity and one of the country's main radio programs.

Castaño concluded his statement by offering Florentino Pérez to come directly to El Partidazo de COPE. The journalist stated that he will continue to express his opinion about the president and Real Madrid and left his microphone open for a live conversation, a possible next chapter in a conflict that is already part of the sports debate in Spain.
