New times are dawning, the same or worse (not better), and the media ring has moved to television sets as exotic as they are phenomenally popular. The candidates for the presidency of Real Madrid have understood this and have adapted without hesitation. If Enrique Riquelme was the guest on Wednesday of El Hormiguero on Antena 3, where he promised Haaland, Florentino Pérez appeared the next day on the Horizonte program, a device originally created to talk about paranormal phenomena, now dedicated to all kinds of analysis, including political covens with psychedelic effects.

The elections for the presidency of Real Madrid have turned into a media battle between Florentino Pérez and Enrique Riquelme, which reached its peak yesterday. Candidate Riquelme gave an interview on El Hormiguero in which he announced that he has secured Norwegian striker Erling Haaland, current player for Manchester City. Pérez counterattacked by buying the first advertisement after the Antena 3 program, in which the Portuguese José Mourinho appeared wearing a Real Madrid shirt and saying ‘sí’.

Real Madrid presidential candidate Enrique Riquelme emulated Florentino Pérez last night on El Hormiguero. As the current Real Madrid president did in 2000, Riquelme announced a stellar signing and publicly committed to compensating Real Madrid members if that player did not join the white club. In 2000, it goes without saying, Florentino Pérez’s big signing was Luis Figo. Riquelme, in this 2026, announced that he has signed Erling Haaland, Manchester City striker; that the commitment is sealed by a notary and that “if I fail to fulfill any of my electoral promises, I will pay 100% of the membership fee for the 100,000 Real Madrid members”.

The open war for the presidency of Real Madrid between Florentino Pérez and Enrique Riquelme continues to accumulate episodes. After last night’s televised battle on Antena 3, this morning Riquelme’s candidacy went on the attack by hanging a banner in which he subtly accuses Florentino Pérez of wanting to sell the club.

No one expected high-altitude guide Hillary Dawa Sherpa to appear alive after he went missing last May 29 above Camp 3 of Everest, at over 7,300 meters of altitude, in the death zone. The best and surprising news arrived this morning when it was confirmed that the Nepalese high-altitude guide “was found crawling towards base camp by a team from the Sagarmatha Pollution Control Committee (SPCC, in its English acronym),” as confirmed to AFP agency by Pemba Sherpa, from 8K, the company that had started his search this week. The veteran Sherpa, over 50 years old, has been transferred to a hospital in Kathmandu with frostbite, but his life is not believed to be in danger.

The Real Madrid presidential candidate Enrique Riquelme, who will compete at the polls this Sunday with Florentino Pérez to see who will lead the Madrid club in the coming years, announced tonight that if he wins the elections, the Norwegian Erling Haaland, Manchester City star, will play for the white club.

It was known by everyone but this Wednesday night Florentino Pérez made it official with a video that if he wins the elections this Sunday the next coach of Real Madrid will be the Portuguese José Mourinho, who would return to the white club.
