Real Madrid crashed out against Paris-Saint Germain, which led to a very somber episode on "El Chiringuito." After the 4-0 defeat, the authoritative voices of Madridism tried to downplay the loss, while Josep Pedrerol announced a decision that no one expected.
El Chiringuito goes on vacation
Pedrerol spoke after what happened, stating: "The news is Real Madrid's defeat, the farewell to the Club World Cup. Chelsea and PSG will play the final. It's a good final on Sunday, we'll be here and we'll close the season with the final."
On July 13, it will be the last episode of the season for "El Chiringuito," without having achieved the desired ending. Josep Pedrerol already pictured himself celebrating the Club World Cup for Real Madrid in grand style, interviewing Florentino in the midst of euphoria. But it won't be like that.
He has sent Edu Aguirre back from the United States and will say goodbye with all the key members in the studio. He is preparing major changes for next season, with some new signings and some departures. He will be on vacation for one month, setting his return date for next Monday, August 11.
El Chiringuito remains alive
El Chiringuito de Jugones, the show directed and hosted by Pedrerol, has established itself as one of the leading references in sports journalism on television. It was born in 2014 after the end of Punto Pelota on Intereconomía, and since then it has kept an uninterrupted presence on screen through various Atresmedia channels, such as Nitro, Neox, Mega, and LaSexta.
The show has managed to reinvent itself season after season, without losing its essence: unfiltered soccer talk, passion for the sport, and heated debates with a clear Madrid-Barça flavor. Its longevity is already a phenomenon: more than a decade on air, leading its late-night slot and going viral every night on social media.
El Chiringuito has witnessed historic signings, controversial refereeing decisions, exclusive statements, and unforgettable television moments. Roncero, with his iconic phrase "Vaaaaaaaamos!," has managed to turn it into a multigenerational media phenomenon, especially popular among young people thanks to its expansion on social media and YouTube.
In 2025, El Chiringuito de Jugones is more alive than ever. A modern classic of soccer on television that is already part of sports entertainment history. Now, Pedrerol has decided to take a break after Real Madrid's setback.
