The royal team won its eleventh title in the continental competition, depriving Olympiacos of its fourth title.
Kostas Sloukas tried to give his team victory in the last second, but his attempt failed, although the Greek team was the better side in many periods of the match. It advanced 24-12 at the end of the first quarter, but the experience of the Spanish team, led by its “old guard”, played a key role in recording a strong comeback and snatching victory in the last breath.
Real Madrid featured Sergio Rodriguez with 15 points, 4 rebounds and 9 assists, Eddie Tavares 13 points with 10 rebounds, and Croatian Mario Izonga 12 points.
On the other hand, the Bulgarian Sasha Visenkov was the best scorer for Olympiacos with 29 points, and the American Isaiah Kanaan added 21 to him.
The last Real Madrid title dates back to the 2017-2018 season, while Olympiacos is in the 2012-13 season.
Real made up for his disappointment in the final of last season at the hands of Turkish Anadolu Efes, who won the last two editions.
