Summary edit

The club had the third worst campaign ever, finishing 10th and avoiding relegation by just one single point.[1] Head coach Juan Armet "Kinké" was fired on round 12 after a bad streak of results,[2] then after one match with Pablo Hernandez Coronado managing another lost game, the executive board appointed Ramon Encinas with the main goal of avoiding relegation, which he successfully accomplished.[3]

After having remained in the first category aimed by the goals of Manuel Alday, which included an emphatic 7–0 victory over Español,[4] the squad advanced rounds in the 1943 Copa del Generalísimo, where it fared far better, reaching the semi-finals and meeting archrivals FC Barcelona there. In the first leg of the series the club lost 0–3 but then, on 13 June 1943, the squad defeated Barcelona with a colossal 11–1 scoreline,[5] being in fact the most landslide result in El Clásico.[6][7][8][9] In the final, the squad was defeated 1–0 by Atletico Bilbao with a Telmo Zarra extra time goal.
