por Roberto Anidos publicado en 1989 Barcelona Cup Decade 80 Real Madrid

In 1989, the cup was held in A Coruña, where they were able to beat Barcelona in an intense final (85-81) to become champions. Petrovic was the top scorer of the match, in a great duel with Epi. Rogers away from the spotlight, made a great game that was worth a title

It was a constant give and take, from start to finish. The break was reached with a Blaugrana advantage (43-48). At the end everything was decided in the last minutes, where Barcelona paid dearly for the elimination of three of its regular players, Epi, Jiménez and Waiters, in a very intense match.

Petrovic finished with 27 points, 14 from the free throw, Rogers (23 points), Fernando Martín (10 points) and Biriukov (10 points), the best of Madrid. In Barcelona, Epi (20 points), Costa (17) and Norris (15 points 15 rebounds).
