A retrospective on the 2007 title triumph guided by Joan Plaza

The 2006/07 season had already positioned Real Madrid as a strong contender, finishing second in the regular standings with a record of twenty‑five wins and nine defeats.

Managed by Joan Plaza, the squad entered the playoffs with a clear strategy, dropping the first two matches of the series against Barcelona before turning the tide.

The final series

In the championship series, Real Madrid dropped the opening two games but rallied to win the next two, sealing the title in a fourth match that ended 71–82 in their favour.

The decisive victory not only delivered the thirtieth league trophy but also highlighted the team's depth, with Felipe Reyes earning the final's Most Valuable Player award.

Key contributors

Bullock was the team's top scorer throughout the campaign, averaging 15.1 points per game, while Reyes combined scoring with leadership on the court.

The run also featured challenging playoff opponents, including Valencia Basket in the quarter‑finals and Joventut in the semi‑finals, before the ultimate showdown with Barcelona.
