80 years since the eighth Spanish Cup in football

On June 9, 1946, Real Madrid claimed their eighth Spanish Cup. The opponent was Valencia, and the match took place at the Montjuïc stadium in Barcelona. Our team dominated from the start and took the lead thanks to an early goal from Barinaga. A brace from Pruden extended their lead on the scoreboard. In the final stretch, Valencia narrowed the gap with a penalty goal.

To reach the Montjuïc final, the madridistas overcame two-legged ties against Racing de Ferrol, Ceuta, Alcoyano, and Real Oviedo. That Real Madrid squad was coached by Jacinto Quincoces.
