At that time, Madrid and Barca met in a tournament called Copa de la Coronacion. The tournament was held to honor the appointment of King Alfonso XIII who led in Spain. The Copa de la Coronacion itself is not considered as an official tournament at that time and it was only a year later the Spanish Football Federation (FREF) sparked the Copa del Rey.
