Having a stellar regular season in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague is impressive, but doesn’t necessarily translate to a Final Four triumph. So while all the other teams in the last round are still fighting for their final seeding in the playoffs or the Play-In Showdown, Real Madrid has other things in mind.
The competition’s history is filled with examples of teams dominating the regular season but failing in the end to stay on top. Since the change of the format and the abolition of the Top 16 phase back in the 2016-17 season, the top team in the standings at the end of the regular season has never won the trophy.
