Football tournament season
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1914 Pyrenees Cup was the 5th and last tournament of the Pyrenees Cup, one of the first international football club competitions.[1] The competition was held on the road[clarification needed] between 1 March and 24 May, and it was won by FC Espanya de Barcelona after beating La Comète et Simiot 3â1 in the final. This was the first time a team other than FC Barcelona won the competition, being finally knocked out by the eventual champions in the semi-finals in an unexpected 2â5 loss.
