Against all statistical intuition, a classic in a cup final like this Saturday in La Cartuja (22.00, La1) is a rarity. The tournament has given 120 champions, Barcelona and Real Madrid have participated in 76 finals between the two, but before this only seven were played, with three victories for the Barca and four for the whites, almost always the most unexpected result. They have been few, but they have left determining moments for the cycles of the two giants: since the last flash of the great Ricardo Zamora, to Cruyff’s salvation that allowed the subsequent ideological development of the Barça game. Ricardo Zamora’s last stop in the final of 1936,1936. The last stop of ‘The Divine’. Madrid, 2-Barça, 1 the first Barça-Madrid in a final took 33 years to occur and left the bar in terms of unforgettable ingredients. To start, it was the last edition called the President of the Republic. In addition, the goalkeeper of Madrid, Ricardo Zamora, the Divine, the first major planetary figure produced by football, had announced in one of his articles in the Catholic newspaper and his retirement for that June 21 in Mestalla. The end occurred with a scene according to the size of the icon. His team, which was not real then, got 0-2 in 12 minutes. Barça cut distances in 29 and continued chasing the comeback while the whites melted. Zamora remembered decades later: “When there were two minutes or three there was a play that has been spoken a lot, the stop that they say has been the best of my life.” Escolà threw from just five meters and he flew towards the base of his left stick, where he caught the ball between the dust. “I managed to watch the ball with one hand.” There the game died, which gave the title to Madrid, and also extinguished the career of El Divino, which had left a last poster stop, which was not his last photo. The civil war began less than a month later and Zamora, pointed out in Republican territory for its articles in now, had to hide. Until they found him, he was arrested, they took prisoner to the Madrid model and almost shot him in Paracuellos. The poet Pedro Luis Gálvez saved him.

Madrid won eight leagues in the sixties. But as in almost all the finals with Classic, what seemed less reasonable happened: Barça took the cup at the enemy’s house thanks to a goal in the Puerta de Zunzunegui in the 7th minute 7. However, the game remained above all the trail of the dozens of glass bottles thrown into the field by the Madrid public enraged by the referee’s decisions, Antonio Rigo. In particular, a fall in the Serena area at the beginning of the second part. They rained bottles then and until the final beep, in each controversial lance contrary to Madrid, as another fall of Amancio.

The signing of Johan Cruyff caused such a deep effect that they not only recovered the trophy, but swept Madrid in the Bernabéu (0-5). That day Zoco decided to leave football: he did not want to continue doing foolish, he said. However, the calendar kept a last happy moment. They agreed that if the Cup final was well aimed, I would play a few minutes to lift the trophy. Barça seemed unattainable, but that day did not have Cruyff, since foreigners could not play the Cup. “Barcelona’s scientific football opposed a much more vibrant style,” summarized the television narrator of the time.
