49 years since the second Intercontinental Basketball Cup
On October 7, 1977, Real Madrid was crowned champion for the second consecutive year.
49 years ago, Real Madrid won its second Intercontinental Basketball Cup. On October 7, 1977, the team mathematically secured the championship by defeating Varese in the fourth game of a round-robin tournament held in the Spanish capital. Our team thus retained the title, the second of three consecutive victories achieved between 1976 and 1978.
Real Madrid returned to compete in the Intercontinental Basketball Cup a year after winning the previous edition in Buenos Aires. Once again led by Lolo Sainz, the madridistas finished the competition undefeated, defeating Francana from Brazil (94-113); Maccabi Elite (105-97); Dragones de Tijuana (105-129); Mobilgirgi Varese, in what would be the decisive match (115-94); and Providence Friars (103-90).
