Real Madrid V FC Barcelona (1943 Copa Del Generalísimo)
On 13 June 1943, Real Madrid CF beat FC Barcelona 11–1 in the second leg of the Copa del Generalísimo semi-finals, the Spanish Cup having been renamed in honor of General Franco. In the first leg at Les Corts, Barcelona defeated Real Madrid 3–0, in an intense match. During the next few days, the Madrid press exaggerated the attitude of Barcelona's fans, and clamored for an exceptional answer from Real Madrid supporters. The hostility of Madrid fans (and some strange decisions of the referee) at the start of the second leg (some players of Barcelona said they "feared for their lives") helped Real Madrid to an 8–0 lead at half time and 11–1 at the end of the match, thus advancing to the final 11–4 on aggregate, which they lost to Athletic Bilbao. Barcelona's president was dismissed, and some months later Real Madrid's president, Santiago Bernabéu, offered his excuses. The 1943 Copa semi-final is often listed as one of the most controversial games in the history of Sp ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
