The History of the Spanish First Division at the Rhythm of Counterattack (ePub)

DO YOU KNOW THE WHOLE HISTORY OF ONE OF THE WORLD'S TOP SOCCER COMPETITIONS?

After many difficulties, the first edition of the Spanish First Division could be held in the 1928-29 season, with an initial rivalry between Athletic of Iragorri and Bata and Real Madrid of Zamora, Olivares and Regueiro. The Civil War broke the championship and gave Atlético Aviación the opportunity to shine, but after a brief success of Gorostiza and Edmundo Suárez's Valencia, Real Madrid and Athletic would resume their duel in the 1940s.

César Rodríguez and Kubala's Barcelona put an end to the fight between the Basques and Madrid, with the permission of Atlético de Madrid led by Helenio Herrera, until Real Madrid returned to shine with legends such as Di Stéfano, Héctor Rial, Gento, Amancio or Pirri under Miguel Muñoz. Luis Aragonés and his Atlético de Madrid would try to put an end to the white hegemony that continued in the 70s with Santillana.

After the golden years of Basque soccer, Real Madrid became unstoppable again with Hugo Sánchez, Butragueño and the famous Quinta del Buitre, but then Barcelona led by Johan Cruyff began a long period of glory, with both teams dominating the recent past of the competition.
