51 years since the 13th Copa de España victory in football
On July 5, 1975, Real Madrid defeated Atlético in a penalty shootout in a final played at the Vicente Calderón.
Real Madrid won their thirteenth Copa de España in 1975. The opponent in the final was Atlético de Madrid, in a match played at the Vicente Calderón Stadium. The game ended in a goalless draw, and our team prevailed in the penalty shootout (4-3). Amancio, Pirri, Rubiñán, and Aguilar converted the madridista penalties.
To reach the showdown at Vicente Calderón, Real Madrid won a two-legged tie against Orense in the round of 16, overcame Las Palmas in the quarter-finals after overturning a 4-0 deficit from the first leg at home, and defeated Zaragoza in the semi-finals. That squad was coached by Miljan Miljanic, who secured a League and Cup double that season.
