It has been 38 years since the Korac Cup was won by Real Madrid, who defeated Cibona in the two-legged final. After a home victory of 102-89, our team was crowned champion in the return leg, held on March 9, 1988, in Zagreb, which ended with a narrow 94-93 win for the hosts.
Madrid secured a 13-point lead in the first leg thanks to the performance of players such as Romay, Branson, and Alexis, all scoring over 20 points. This advantage proved decisive in claiming the title away from home in the second match. Cibona, with Petrovic scoring 47 points prior to his arrival at Real Madrid, achieved a victory that was insufficient to overturn the deficit. Alexis, with 22 points, was the top scorer for Lolo Sainz's team in the return leg.
