Juanma Rodríguez 'Humiliates' Jota Jordi Live on Air after Real Madrid's Victory

Real Madrid is celebrating after their victory over the Mexican Pachuca at the Lusail stadium. Carlo Ancelotti's men overcame a difficult start to the game and acted in the most critical moment of the first half with a memorable play. From then on, the gap was insurmountable both on the field and on the scoreboard.

Good feelings harvested in another international final are ideal for facing the last game of 2024 at Santiago Bernabéu, a key encounter in the fight for the League. Only the victory against Sevilla guarantees a chance of being at the top of the table before the Christmas break.

The reactions to Real Madrid's victory in the Intercontinental Cup final were quick to come. One of the most immediate was on El Chiringuito de Jugones and was from a jubilant Juanma Rodríguez. The veteran journalist, during one of his interventions, targeted Jota Jordi.

In addition to a controversial comment about the refereeing during the game, the Barça opinion maker didn't have a good night. Juanma Rodríguez was in charge of reminding him that "all this is what Madrid achieves, without having paid the referees' vice president for 17 years, 8.4 million euros."

Harsh reality

Jota Jordi's protest was more than noticeable. Saddened by the merengue victory, the commentator raised his hand, denying with his index finger and showing his disagreement with Juanma Rodríguez's words. But the situation is very different from what Jota Jordi defends, who is slowly losing his soccer arguments.

Hansi Flick's arrival in Barcelona gave the Catalans an invincibility that has disappeared over time in the League and the Champions League. Although they are a little better off than Real Madrid in the top European competition, the situation in the Spanish league is more than worrying.

Against a white club that hasn't yet found a way to settle into victory, the losses and draws for the culés have reduced the gap to just one point. The next matchday, held next weekend, could be key to deciding who goes into the Christmas break as leader. The merengues' hopes are placed on the visit of Atlético de Madrid to the Olympic stadium of Montjuïc.

Because only a draw between both teams, second and first in the table respectively, would give the merengue team the opportunity to be leaders at the end of 2024. Juanma Rodríguez reminds Jota Jordi, once again, that Real Madrid never paid Enríquez Negreira nor sought services of any kind to better compete in Spanish soccer.
