Anadolu Efes won the Euroleague Final Four in Belgrade after beating Real Madrid (57-58).
Real Madrid is still the king of Europe with 10 titles, 2 over its main rival, CSKA Moscow, which could not finish this season due to the invasion of Ukraine (the Euroleague decided to suspend the three Russian teams). Laso’s men had good memories of Belgrade, because they raised the Décima there in 2018, but they couldn’t raise the Eleventh there.
All the teams in this Final Four had once won the Euroleague. Olympiacos added three titles (1997, 2012 and 2013); Barca, two (2003 and 2010); and Anadolu Efes were the reigning champions. It premiered last year in Cologne and has repeated this in Belgrade.
