To reminisce this, you would have to go back to 1974 when Real Madrid took on Barcelona in the final of the Copa del Rey. The last time these two teams played in the final of the King’s Cup, Madrid beat the Blaugrana through a late goal from Gareth Bale—they only just edged out the Camp Nou outfit by a goal.

However, this wasn’t the case in the 1974 final of the Cup, known as the Copa del Generalisimo back then, as Madrid absolutely thumped their eternal rivals.

Santillana opened the scoring in the 5th minute and that was the only goal in the first half. After that, just a minute into the second half, Benito Rubinan scored again for Madrid, which was then followed by Francisco Aguilar’s goal in the 50th minute.

Pirri then rounded the game off by adding the 4th for Madrid to give them an emphatic win against their rival—and that, too, in a final.
