It has been 60 years since Real Madrid claimed their tenth Spanish Basketball Cup. On June 19, 1966, our team defeated Joventut in a final held in Terrasa. The Catalan team dominated the first half, achieving a 9-point lead at halftime (26-35). However, Real Madrid turned the game around in the second half and completed the comeback with a 62-61 victory.
