CSKA Moscow has won its sixth Euro league Title

The Russian capital’s basketball team threatens to beat the score of the all-time record holders for this championship – Real Madrid. For the title CSKA Moskow played against Maccabi Tel Aviv and secured a win with 77-91. Before the break, the game seemed as if it can go either way with an almost equal score of 42:41 which is only one point advance for CSKA Moskow. After the game was renewed Maccabi’s players seemed rather warn-out on the court and they were not able to prevent their opponent from winning the championship. The Euroleague in Madrid 2008 is an anniversary championship, celebrating 50 years of great slams. The battle for third place was played between the teams of Montepaschi Siena and Tau Ceramica, where Siena barely won with 97-93. The champion CSKA Moskow is only sixth in the ranking system with 519 ranking points, and the leader of the ranking system is Maccabi Elite with 581 ranking points.
