Virtus Bologna – PAOK
Real Madrid – Zalgiris Kaunas

Real Madrid were unable to defend their Cup Winners’ Cup title after losing to Knorr Bologna (the Virtus of all time) in the final in Florence.

Ettore Messina, in his first season on the Virtus, thus won his second title with the big V team, after winning the Italian Cup. The Bolognese dominated the scoreboard for most of the match, relying on a stifling defence and control over the pace of the game.
