A classic Euroleague showdown is set to take place in the Spanish capital on Thursday when Real Madrid welcomes Armani Jeans Milano in Group D. These two teams have not faced each other in Europe's top competition in more than two decades. Their last Euroleague showdown took place in 1987, the year in which Milano lifted the first of two consecutive titles. Real Madrid has taken all the major games against Milano, including in the 1964 Euroleague semifinals, the 1984 Saporta Cup final and in the 1967 Euroleague final. Real downed Simmenthal Milano 91-83 in Madrid on April 1, 1967, to win its third Euroleague title behind 29 points from Emiliano Rodriguez and 23 from Miles Aiken. More than four decades have gone by, but the memories stays intact.
