Retro Football: 12-Year-Old La Masia Recruit Andres Iniesta Tells TV News He Dreams Of Playing For Real Madrid (Video)
By Chris Wright
In which a diddy, 12-year-old (we think) Andres Iniesta – a new recruit at Barcelona’s La Masia youth school – innocently tells a Spanish news crew that his dream is to someday play for Real Madrid.
Out of the mouths of babes and all that…
Yep. We thought that was Cesc for a moment too.

Not a surprise to hear this, Iniesta is a Castilian, so far more likely to grow up supporting Madrid than the other Catalonians at Barca.

“Yo era de Madrid…” Translation: I WAS for Madrid. Past tense. Big woop. He changed his mind after getting to La Masis and becoming the great he is today. Good choice Iniesta!
The lady in the video says “This 11-year-old boy who cried every night because of being so far away from his home, has been hiding a secret”.
Andres: “I was for Madrid with all my might, now Jorge will say which team he supported.”
Jorge: “I was for Madrid too.”
Speaking of switching allegiances have you seen this video of young Mourinho declaring his undying love for Barcelona? Might explain why he’s always had a frayed relationship with them…
