34 years have passed since Real Madrid won its third European Cup Winners' Cup. On March 17, 1992, our team triumphed in a closely contested final against PAOK thanks to a basket by Rickey Brown with two seconds remaining (65-63). Thus, the squad led by Clifford Luyk lifted the trophy in the French city of Nantes.
The madridistas appeared to have taken control of the final in the first half, going into halftime with a 15-point lead (43-28). However, the Greek team staged a comeback in the second half, leveling the score (63-63) with ten seconds to go. They even had possession to win, but in a brilliant final play, Brown stole the ball and scored to secure the European Cup Winners' Cup for Real Madrid.
