rdf:langString The 1924 Prince of Asturias Cup Final was the final match of the 1923–24 Prince of Asturias Cup, the sixth edition in the competition's history. The game was held at the San Mamés in Bilbao, Spain, on 24 February 1924, and ended in a 4–4 draw, after extra-time. The replay was played two days later and saw Catalonia beat the Centro team, a Castile/Madrid XI, by the score of 3–2. The 1924 final is often listed as the greatest match in the history of the Prince of Asturias Cup, an inter-regional football competition contested by the regional selections of Spain. Thanks to its back-and-forth drama, last-minute heroics and a frenetic replay for a total of 13 goals in just 2 games, this final is regarded as one of the best football matches of the early stages of Spanish football. Some historians ascribe the match a lasting impact on both Madrid and Catalonia football history, contributing to the birth of the well-known football rivalry between the two regions. The win earned Catalonia its second of three Prince of Asturias Cup titles, having won it in 1916, while the third title came two years later in 1926. Catalonia was the second region to win the Cup twice, following the Centro team (1917 and 1918), although, different from them, Catalonia won their titles as a guest (or neutral) rather than the host.
