The Story in 60 Seconds

Real Madrid TV presenter Álvaro de la Lama has responded directly to journalist Juanma Castaño after Castaño apologized for comparing the club's channel to the newspaper Gara. Speaking on the club's official channel, de la Lama argued that the apology did little to soften Castaño's ongoing accusations against the network.

The dispute began with a column by Castaño in ABC, which prompted an official Real Madrid statement calling the comparison an extremely serious act. While Castaño admitted on his radio show El Partidazo that the Gara reference was excessive, he maintained his broader claims that Real Madrid TV manipulates and misleads.
