Final
[edit]"We were in control for 35 minutes and that makes this pill harder to swallow" – Paolo Moretti, Varese head coach
This was Skyliners Frankfurt's first chance to win a European title ever in its club history. For Varese, this was already the 13th appearance in the Final of a European club competition; the Italians won the FIBA European Champions Cup (5 times) and FIBA Saporta Cup (2 times) before. However, Varese's last European victory was back in 1980.
Fraport Skyliners clawed their way back from a 12-point third-quarter deficit to edge out OpenjobMetis Varese 66–62 in a gripping FIBA Europe Cup final and lift the first European trophy in club history. Quantez Robertson of Fraport, who scored 15 points in the Final, was named Final Four MVP.
