The conflict between Real Madrid and Juanma Castaño, a radio host at COPE and presenter of the show "El Partidazo," has escalated dramatically. Real Madrid's official social media accounts rarely release special reports produced by the club's TV channel, but this one contained a compilation of controversial statements made by the journalist over recent years, directly criticizing him for "lying, manipulating, attacking, and harassing."

This week, Castaño acknowledged that comparing Real Madrid TV to the newspaper "Gara" (which was closely associated with the terrorist organization ETA during its active period) was a mistake, but this apology proved insufficient to defuse the situation. Real Madrid's official social media accounts released a report produced by the club's TV channel that compiled several controversial incidents involving Castaño over recent years.

One such controversy concerns Real Madrid's advance to the Champions League semi-finals in 2018. At the time, Real Madrid qualified for the semi-finals against Juventus thanks to a penalty created by Lucas Vázquez, which Castaño branded a "world-class scandal."

The club's official TV channel used this incident to underscore that, in their view, Castaño "lies, manipulates, attacks, and harasses"—the exact same words the broadcaster had used to describe Real Madrid TV's actions.

The situation has thus crossed what seemed to be an irreversible line, following the instructions of club president Florentino Pérez, who has long made clear that his primary enemy is the media.
