| STADIUM: Las Corts (Barcelona) DATE: 25-12-1955 (11:45 h) Attendance: 27.750 Referee: Armando Marchetti (ITA) Goals: 1-0 (Areta 8'); 2-0 (Areta 10'); 3-0 (Tejada 20'); 4-0 (Villaverde 40'); 5-0 (Kubala 59'); 5-1 (Lundberg [p.] 65'); 5-2 (Lundberg 75'); 6-2 (Tejada 80') [Incidents: First game of CF Barcelona in European competitions; actually, the team should be better called "Barcelona Select XI", since they represented the trade city of Barcelona. Because of this, they played with an unusual kit: blue shirt and white shorts, and even portrayed on their chest the city’s shield instead of the club’s crest. Although the other team from Barcelona, RCD Español, was also invited to join the local squad, they refused to do it, so in the end Barcelona Select XI was just made up of CF Barcelona’s players.] |
