Referee Miguel Ángel Ortiz Arias has a mustache impossible to ignore. And it seems he likes other people’s too.
It all happened during the captains’ coin toss before Barcelona vs Athletic Club at Camp Nou. Ortiz Arias first greeted Iñaki Williams and then turned toward Raphinha. That’s when he came out with the phrase captured by RefCam, the micro-camera that LaLiga referees have worn above their ear since this season: “I like your mustache”.
DAZN España released the full audio on August 27, 2026, and the clip went viral within hours. A second of spontaneity between two men with mustaches before the match got serious. 🥸⚽
