Barça has defeated Real Madrid with epic style, prevailing in overtime and lifting their 32nd Copa del Rey. It wasn't an easy match, but it served to win another title and stay alive in the fight for something key: the treble. Besides the Cup, the League is very close, and in the Champions League, for now, they have reached the semifinals.
Josep Pedrerol has spoken about this, who, once again changing his opinion, has stated that "the treble is closer." Opening El Chiringuito after the Cup final, the Catalan host pointed out: " Barça is the Copa del Rey champion, the treble is closer."
Josep Pedrerol: Always Opportunistic
Josep Pedrerol is one of the most recognizable figures in sports journalism in Spain. Host of El Chiringuito, the Catalan journalist has become a key figure in current soccer affairs, leading the top sports television program every night. His direct style, exclusives, and ability to generate debate have made him one of the most influential names in the media landscape.
Born in Barcelona, Pedrerol began his career in Catalan media, such as Catalunya Ràdio and TV3, before making the leap to Madrid, where his career fully exploded. In his early years, he was often seen narrating the current events of FC Barcelona, which led many to associate him with supposed Barcelona fandom.
However, over time, and especially after his consolidation in El Chiringuito, it has become clear that Pedrerol sympathizes more with Madrid. Although he always keeps an image of professional neutrality, many of his analyses, his defense of white figures, and his close relationship with Florentino Pérez have fueled the perception of his Madridist affinity.
Josep Pedrerol has built an empire around his style: direct, controversial, and always seeking the headline. In El Chiringuito, he has managed to surround himself with a team of collaborators who keep the passion and controversy alive every night, generating intense debates about Real Madrid, Barça, and other clubs.
