A Football Match That Made History

The Most Controversial El Clasico of All Time

On June 13, 1943, Real Madrid defeated Barcelona 11-1 in the second leg of the Copa del Generalísimo semi-finals.

The Spanish Cup had been renamed in honor of General Francisco Franco, and the match was played in the midst of the Spanish Civil War. The result was a huge victory for Real Madrid, and it remains the most controversial El Clasico of all time.

There are many theories about what happened that day. Some say that Barcelona was deliberately weakened by the Francoist regime, while others claim that Real Madrid simply played better on the day. Whatever the truth may be, the match remains a dark chapter in the history of Spanish football.
