Mega, El Chiringuito Historical Review by Roncero to Jota Jordi on La Fábrica and La Masia: You'll Never Have...
The Real Madrid journalist mentioned three Castilla milestones to him that the Barça youth academy will never achieve.
Jota Jordi and Tomás Roncero once again engaged in a tense debate on El Chiringuito. This time, the topic was the eternal comparison between La Fábrica and La Masia.
Jota Jordi didn't hesitate to praise FC Barcelona's youth academy. "You'll never have eight players on your team who kiss the badge," he stated emphatically.
The Barcelona panelist defended the club's philosophy. "The Tchouaménis, Camavingas, and Mbappés don't carry the same weight as our Masia," he asserted. For him, Barça's identity is built on its homegrown players. According to Jota, Real Madrid only wins by signing stars.
Meanwhile, Roncero didn't take long to react. His response was devastating.
"But I Have Fifteen European Cups"
The Madrid journalist began with a strong statement. "But I have fifteen European Cups," he recalled with irony. It was his first blow in the debate.
But he didn't stop there. He had much more to say.
"Madrid's youth academy has three things that La Masia will never have," he stated firmly.
He began to develop his argument with historical data that left his rival speechless.
"We Played a Cup Final You'll Never Play"
Roncero highlighted a unique milestone in the history of Spanish soccer. "We played a Cup final that you'll never play," he declared proudly.
He was referring to the historic 1980 Copa del Rey final. That year, Real Madrid faced Castilla at Santiago Bernabéu. The first team won 6-1 and achieved the double.
"You won't see that at La Masia," he concluded with a smile.
"We Won the Second Division League in '84"
The second fact Roncero brought up further dismantled Jota Jordi's theory.
"We won the Second Division League in 1984," he recalled. Something no reserve team has achieved in Spain.
Castilla was the Second Division champion. An achievement that, according to Roncero, Barça's reserve team has never accomplished. "It's an unrepeatable milestone," he insisted.
"We Played in Europe Against West Ham"
Roncero's third argument was definitive. "We played in Europe in the Cup Winners' Cup against West Ham," he stated emphatically.
Castilla reached European competitions. "Something Barça's reserve team will never do," he concluded.
Jota Jordi, speechless. Roncero, elated. Another duel won on the set of El Chiringuito.
