Is it true that Barcelona King's Cup 23: 1 Real Madrid?
Really. The game was created under the threat of Franco, the then ruler and dictator of Spain (Franco was a supporter of Real Madrid). Details are as follows: 1. At that time, the National Guard threatened Barcelona players in the game because they spoke Catalan, which was banned after the Spanish Civil War.
2. Another way of saying it is that some government personnel entered the dressing room in Barcelona at halftime and beat Barcelona players, which led to their poor performance.
It is also said that the government at that time "persuaded" the referee to help Real Madrid win the game.
Therefore, this game is very artificial and political.
