JuanJo Ortega.
is the most repeated topic of conversation in recent weeks. Madrid-Barça Barça-Madrid or appropriate. Today, let me join the chorus of voices and tell them about this classic, but not in its modern version, but the oldest, at least in regard to the knockout tournament.
And thanks to Eleonora Giovio and Luis Martín , editors of The Country , I discovered many interesting facts concerning the five previous encounters of whites and Barca in the final of the Cup Rey.
The most curious, no doubt, which referred specifically to the 'Cup without a King' or pen point to the 'Final of the Republic. "
And that is the first of five times as Real Madrid and Catalonia have met in the Cup final took place June 21, 1936, barely a month before the coup to end the Second Republic.
According have chronicled the Mundo Deportivo the next day, the Madrid danced to Barcelona.
A historic game also because it marked the farewell of the legendary goalkeeper Ricardo Zamora and then because he saw the attraction of the sport. In a stadium that seats 15,600 spectators gathered 20,000.
From then until now, Barcelona and Madrid have crossed four more times in the final copera. The balance is in favor of the first of 3 final (1968, 1983 and 1990, the last previous) two (1936 and 1974, the year of Barca 0-5 at the Bernabeu and oddly threw up a 4-0 pro- white).
Anyway I recommend reading the article in COUNTRY: Life five Cups.
