Real Madrid gewinnt den ersten Superpokal der Euroleague

Real Madrid claimed victory in the inaugural EuroLeague Super Cup, defeating last season’s EuroLeague champion Olympiacos 93-89 in the final held in Abu Dhabi. The Spanish side secured their triumph in a tightly contested match, maintaining control throughout much of the game. In the first half, Real Madrid led by as many as ten points, but Olympiacos staged a comeback in the third quarter to take the lead. However, Real managed to reclaim the advantage in the fourth quarter and ultimately closed out the win with a decisive performance in the final minutes. With just seven seconds remaining, Andres Feliz hit the winning shot to seal the 93-89 result. Timothé Luwawu-Cabarrot led Real Madrid with 12 points, while Jaime Pradilla, Mikael Jantunen, and Feliz each contributed 11. Facundo Campazzo recorded nine assists, matching the tally of Codi Miller-McIntyre for Olympiacos, who were led by Sasha Vezenkov with 22 points and Evan Fournier adding 14. The match was watched by former Real Madrid football star Gareth Bale, who attended the basketball spectacle in the United Arab Emirates. Olympiacos had previously defeated Fenerbahçe in the semifinals, winning 92-90 after extra time. Real Madrid, the reigning EuroLeague runners-up, edged out the host nation Dubai 98-95 in the other semifinal. Fenerbahçe finished third after beating Dubai 85-77 in the consolation match. The EuroLeague regular season for the 2026/27 campaign will begin on September 24 and conclude in April 2027, followed by the playoffs and the May Final Four.
