In 2007, the final four was held in Girona, and the Catalan club took advantage of this to beat Azovmash in the final (79-72) and be crowned for the first time in the history of the club, champion of a continental competition. Arriel McDonald, point guard of the Catalan team, MVP of the final tournament

Semi-finals
Students 58 – Girona 89
Virtus Bologna 73 – Azovmash 74

The first half of the final moved in parameters of maximum equality, always with short advantages and in a game without owner (40-36), where McDonald with 18 points at half time was the absolute protagonist in these minutes. At the restart the Catalans went on the scoreboard, came to put (54-41), but was ephemeral domain, with the Ukrainians fixing the situation throughout the third act (59-55), and tying the score four minutes to go (67-67). Once again, McDonald led a partial reaction (8-5) that was already final.
