Antonio De Miguel (footballer, Born 1896)
Antonio de Miguel Postigo (1896 – 24 November 1936) was a Spanish footballer who played as a forward for Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid. Club career Born in Madrid, he began his career in 1916 at his hometown club Madrid FC, with whom he played for 8 seasons, in which the highlight of his career was winning the 1917 Copa del Rey Final against Arenas de Getxo. He remained loyal to the club for 8 years until 1924, when the club's board of directors decided that the low form of an aging de Miguel did not allow him to continue defending the colours of Madrid, and thus, he ended up in the neighboring club, Atlético Madrid. In his first season at Atlético, he contributed decisively in helping them win the 1924–25 Centro Championship four points clear of Madrid FC, thus proving he was not too old after all, and unlike what Real might have thought, de Miguel played a further five seasons with Athletic before retiring in 1929, being also pivotal in helping the club reach the 19 ...

Copa Del Rey
The Campeonato de España–Copa de Su Majestad el Rey, commonly known as Copa del Rey or simply La Copa and formerly known as Copa del Presidente de la República (1932–36) and Copa del Generalísimo (1939–76), is an annual knockout football competition in Spanish football, organized by the Royal Spanish Football Federation. The competition was founded in 1903, thus making it the oldest Spanish football competition played at a national level. It is considered one of the most prestigious ''national cup'' trophies in the world. Copa del Rey winners qualify for the following season's UEFA Europa League. If they have already qualified for Europe through their league position, then the Europa League spot is given to the highest-placed team in the league who has not yet qualified (until 2014 this place was awarded to the Copa runners-up, unless they too had already qualified via the league). Barcelona is the most successful club in the competition, having won 31 Spanish Cup t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Catalonia National Football Team
The Catalonia national football team ( ca, Selecció de futbol de Catalunya) is the official football team of Catalonia. It is organised by the Catalan Football Federation, founded in 1900. The team has been referred to by various names including , and the Catalan XI. As the Catalan Federation is affiliated with the Royal Spanish Football Federation as one of the several Spanish regional football federations, Catalonia cannot be affiliated with either FIFA or UEFA as a national member association and is therefore not allowed to participate in official competitions for national teams such as the FIFA World Cup or the UEFA European Championship. Other than in certain cases where other nationalities are involved, Catalan players are full Spanish citizens who are eligible to play for Spain, and often do. Since 1904, the team has played nearly 200 games against various national, regional and club teams. International friendly games have been played more regularly since 1997. Among ...
