50 years since winning the Spanish Cup for the 12th time

Real Madrid won the Spanish Cup for the twelfth time on 29 June 1974. They did so following a sensational performance at the Vicente Calderón against Barcelona. The Clásico was one-sided and Santillana put our team ahead after just six minutes. Rubiñán, Aguilar and Pirri rounded off a 4-0 win in the second half to secure the trophy for Real Madrid. Zoco, who retired at the end of the season, was introduced in the final minutes to collect his last trophy as a madridista.

Luis Molowny's team had a fantastic season with an impressive record of 26 goals scored in 7 games. On their way to the final, the madridistas had to get past Betis in the round of 16, Granada in the quarter-finals and UD Las Palmas in the semi-finals.
