The journalist, identified as Petra Laszlo, was fired and later apologized for her actions.
Ziad and his father, Osama Alabed Almohse, were among thousands of refugees fleeing Syria and headed to Germany. But when their story became international news, and word spread that Almohse was a soccer coach in Syria, the refugee was invited to teach at CENAFE, a Spanish school in the soccer-crazed nation that trains coaches for the sport.
Thursday, the father and son met the president of Real Madrid, which Forbes named this year as the most valuable sports team in the world.
