Today marks 116 years since the third Copa de España

Today is the 116th anniversary of Real Madrid's third Copa de España. On 30 March 1907, our team were involved in the showpiece event against Vizcaya. The old Hipódromo de la Castellana hosted the final, which went the way of the madridistas thanks to a single goal, to clinch a third of four Spanish successive championships won by the club between 1905 and 1908.

That Copa de España was played in a mini-league format, with the Whites going up against Vigo, Hamilton, Recreativo de Huelva and Vizcaya. At the end of the competition, Madrid and the Basque outfit were level on points, meaning a decider was required. Prast put the madridistas in front in the final and they managed to hold onto the lead and lift the trophy.
