The Black Arrows was a volunteer corps (Corpo Truppe Volontarie) directed directly by Benito Mussolini. With the Black Arrows, Alcantara served on the fronts of Guadalajara, Aragon and Catalonia. With General Yagüe, he entered Barcelona victoriously on 26 January 1939. After the Spanish Civil War, Paulino Alcántara lived in Barcelona and was Lieutenant of the Black Arrows. During the Spanish State, Alcántara was a Chief of the Falange Española Tradicionalista y de las JONS. Legacy Alcántara is known for his feats with FC Barcelona, scoring 395 goals in 399 matches; a club record which was broken by Argentine footballer Lionel Messi about a century later in 2014. He is considered by Barcelona as one of its "legends". However, in his native country, the Philippines, Alcántara had limited recognition until the 2010s, partially caused by a surge of popularity of football in the Philippines. In 2018, the domestic cup tournament of the Philippines Football League, the Copa Paulino Alcantara was named in his honor. He was also named part of the Philippine Sports Hall of Fame in 2021.
