121 years since the first Copa de España

On April 18, 1905, Real Madrid inaugurated its trophy cabinet in the Copa de España. They did so by defeating Athletic Club 1-0 in the match that decided the title. That tournament was held in Madrid and was a triangular competition alongside San Sebastián and Athletic Club, who were the defending champions. In the first match, our team defeated the Donostiarra side 3-0.

In the next match against Athletic Club, Prast was the scorer of the goal that put Madrid's name on the competition's trophy list for the first time. This victory marked the beginning of a madridista dominance in the Copa de España, as our club won four consecutive editions. 121 years later, Real Madrid has won this competition 20 times.
