Today marks 77 years of the 15th Cup conquered by Athletic Club. On June 20, 1943, the lions led by Juan Urkizu defeated Real Madrid CF by 1-0 in the final played at the Metropolitan Stadium.
After 90 minutes without any goal, the scoreboard only moved in the extra-time, when Zarra’s goal in the 104th minute gave us the victory and caused we could lift the trophy.
