When Youth Talk Turns Viral: Juventus Kids Roast Barca Over a Referee Scandal in Spain

Viral moment from Juventus' youth academy

A short video from Juventus' youth academy circulated rapidly on social media, sparking a wide wave of discussion as several young players from the Italian club mocked Barcelona during a recent youth tournament held in Spain.

According to El Chiringuito, the clip was filmed at the "Tech Tak" youth tournament when a reporter asked quick questions: "Who is your favorite team in Spain?" The answers varied between Real Madrid and Barcelona.

The controversy peaked when one child said about Barcelona: "they pay the referees," and another added, when asked about a Barcelona legend: "the referee!"

The clip has been described as surreal and very funny, showing Italian kids who seem well aware of the ongoing case, though there is no proven impact on La Liga results yet.

The video spread on X via El Chiringuito's account, racking up millions of views in hours, with Real Madrid and Juventus fans reacting with laughter.

Some Barça supporters argued the moment was an overblown joke and a reflection of ongoing media influence around the case.

Punchline 1: If referees are the legends, maybe the next match should come with popcorn.

Punchline 2: In football, even kids know when the whistle wobbles—sometimes you just listen for the echo.
