61st anniversary of the second Basketball European Cup
On April 13, 1965, Real Madrid defeated CSKA Moscow in the second leg of the final (76-62).
A year after inaugurating their trophy cabinet in the European Cup, Real Madrid claimed their second continental crown. They achieved it 61 years ago in a two-legged final against CSKA Moscow. After losing the first leg away by 88-81, our team secured the title with a convincing victory in the return leg (76-62), played in Madrid on April 13, 1965.
Despite the seven-point deficit they faced in the decisive match, the madridistas were far superior to the Russian side. Emiliano (24 points) and Luyk (18) led the triumph under Pedro Ferrándiz in a season where they also won the League and the Cup.
