The evolution of professional football, with official calendars increasingly saturated with matches and the tendency to toured well paid by the world has been silently relegating, when not ending, with tournaments that were important, organized by the clubs to welcome each course. He FC Barcelona He has continuously respected the trophy dispute that in 1966, under the president's mandate Enric Llaudetit was first held in memory of its founder, Joan Gamper. This Sunday, August 9, 2025, its 60th edition is disputed. With greater or lesser briile for the short -term circumstances, the Barca club has maintained a traditional appointment with its hobby. At first he did it with home run with semifinals, ends and third and costing until in 1997 it was chosen, for scarcity of dates, the single match as a more sustainable format. With 46 titles, Barça dominates the palmraés in a tournament that has counted, especially at other times, with the best teams in the world, such as the Byern, Ajax, Milan, Boca Juniors or River Plate. The 1990, 1996, 2023 and 2024 editions were played in the Montjuic Stadi for reforming the Camp Nou, as in 2025, on the occasion of the visit of the 1907, which pays visit to the Estadi Johan Cruyff, which has already hosted the 2021 edition in a Barça-Juventus played in the Esportiva Ciutat by the sanitary restrictions caused by the sanitary restrictions caused by the sanitary restrictions. pandemic.

A year after his death, in 1979 the white club created, by the hand of Luis de Carlosthe tournament with the name of the emblematic leader and did so with the claim to summon only European champions, an enthusiastic idea that was diluted over the years. Continuity was not the best virtue of the tournament. In 2014, the tournament was already canceled for overload in the calendar and the last edition was played in 2018, with Real Madrid leading the palmraés with 28 titles. The trophy, physically, also experienced changes that did not stop revealing the irregularity in the belief of the idea: it premiered with wooden base with the shields of the participants, which held a reproduction of the Chamartín stadium on which a large glass crowned by a bust of Santiago Bernabéu rested and that had measures of 1'70 x 1'10 meters for a weight of 67 kilos of a weight of a piece silver. For the rest of the participants a smaller bust would be delivered with the effigy of President Bernabéu.

In 1984, the tournament became triangular and, in 1985, he played a single game. The initial trophy, designed as a large solid silver pedestal on which bear and madroño rose as symbols of Madrid, became in the 90s a glass with handles and a lid and finally a kind of tureen.
Espanyol and its Ciuttat de Barcelonathen with the addition of Memorial Fernando Lara, he had its last edition on August 9, 2015.

This Saturday, Cádiz CF was proclaimed champion of the Carranza trophy After drawing a goal with Córdoba and overcoming his rival in the penalty shootout. With the presence of great clubs that wanted to take that huge trophy that needed half a team to lift it there were matches so close that they are remembered tangan.
