It was on 15 June 1957 that Real Madrid won their fifth Spanish Basketball Cup. Our team beat Aismalíbar in the final in Vigo by a narrow 54-50. Alfonso Martínez was the top scorer of the game with 22 points. Real Madrid reached the deciding game after defeating Orillo Verde in the previous round (53-42), while the Catalan team beat Barcelona in the other semi-final.
The team coached by Ignacio Pinedo thus won their second consecutive cup title and their fifth in seven years. It was a great season for Real Madrid, as a month earlier they had won the first edition of the Liga.
