Real Madrid were crowned European basketball champions for the eighth time in their history on 13 April 1995. 15 years after La Séptima, the Whites prevailed once again on the continent after beating Olympiacos in the final played in Saragossa. The squad, coached by Obradovic and spearheaded by Arvydas Sabonis, will always remain in the memory of all Madridistas.
Madrid reached the final after beating Limoges in the semi-finals (49-62).
