Today marks the 33rd anniversary of Real Madrid's 26th Basketball League championship, a milestone that still reverberates across Spanish sport.
The title clash unfolded as a seesaw battle: the capital club opened with two straight victories on home turf, only to drop the next two in Badalona, setting the stage for a decisive seventh game that ended 78‑69 in Madrid's favor.
Arvydas Sabonis was the centerpiece of that final, delivering 22 points and 10 rebounds while being crowned tournament MVP.
The triumph was underpinned by a dominant regular season in which Real Madrid compiled a 25‑6 record, a feat achieved under the steady guidance of coach Clifford Luyk.
The same campaign also yielded the Copa del Rey, as Real Madrid defeated Joventut in the domestic cup final, completing a double that highlighted the squad's depth.
