Jugones is a Spanish television program that offers information and opinion, presented by Josep Pedrerol, which analyzes current events in the world of soccer and other sports, with special attention to Real Madrid Club de Fútbol and Fútbol Club Barcelona.
At the end of March 2013, Atresmedia presented its bid to reinforce the sports information of LaSexta with a new format and, thus, try to stop the most direct competition.
Thus, on April 1, Jugones, a sports news program presented by Óscar Rincón and Antonio Esteva, was launched.
