"The first game, at Barcelona's old stadium Les Corts, ended in a 3-0 win for the Catalans.
The victory was somewhat pyrrhic, however, since Jose Escola, Barça's star of the early 1940s, was taken off on a stretcher in the first half with José Maria Querejeta's stud marks on his stomach. Certain sections of the crowd beginning to berate Madrid's players and the leniency of the referee acted as a red rag to the bull of the Madrid-based press, which toed Franco's line whenever necessary.
The newspaper Ya (Now) reported that there had been ungentlemanly whistling and booing and that this had been symptomatic of a 'clear intention to attack the representatives of Spain'. Say no more. In the return match in Chamartin, Madrid's then ground, Barcelona were defeated 11-1, a score that is still a blot on their statistical history. The fact that the Catalans had a player sent off before half-time hardly seems a sufficient explanation for the rout.
Perhaps it had more to do with the fact that the director of state security went into the their dressing room before the game and allegedly told the assembled gathering that some of them - despite their lack of 'patriotism' - were only playing because of the regime's generosity in permitting them to remain in the country.

Phil Ball, Morbo, the story of Spanish football
ima odličan dokumentarni materijal u vezi ovog , kako ga zovu, chamartinskog(kvart u kojem je bio stari realov stadion) skandala, čak i na jubito, ako se ne varam, di su razgovarali s igračima barce iz toga doba koji su bili još živi. na žalost, nema prijevoda.
zanimljiva stvar je, da je juanu antoniju samaranchu, tada novinaru, zbog onoga šta je vidija i napisa o chamartinskom skandalu, naprasno prekinuta novinarska karijera.
ono šta malo ljudi zna, je da je samaranch, iako potomak bogate barcelonske plemićke familje, bija članom francovih falangi, po vlastitom izboru, bez prisile.
