Champions Cup 1965-66

(From 3-11-1965 to 1-04-1966)

 

 

COMPETITION SYSTEM

·          26 teams (domestic champions plus title holder) playing knock-out rounds on a home and away basis. The aggregate score of both games decides the winner. Ties after two legs are resolved with a third game at a neutral venue (or a participant’s court, if so agreed).

·          The eight teams qualified for 1/4 Finals are divided into two groups of four. Every team plays against the other three in its group in consecutive home-and-away matches, so that every two of these games count as a single win or defeat (point difference being a decisive factor here). In case of a tie between two or more teams after this group stage, the following criteria is used to decide the final standing: 1) one-to-one games between the teams; 2) basket average; 3) individual wins and defeats.

·          The group winners and runners-up of the 1/4 Final round qualify for the Final Stage, held at a single venue.

RESUMEN (SUMMARY)

Confirmando el pronóstico general, el Simmenthal de Milán se proclamó con todo honor campeón de la Copa de Europa (la primera de un equipo italiano) ante la enloquecida masa de seguidores milanistas que llenaban a rebosar el Palacio de Deportes de Bolonia. El tándem norteamericano Bradley-Thoren, apoyado por la eficacia anotadora de Vianello, hundió las esperanzas de los checos. Pese a todo, la velocidad en el juego del Slavia hizo pasar momentos de apuros al Simmenthal.

 

El conjunto italiano tuvo un comienzo de partido arrollador, y a los ocho minutos ya ganaba por diez puntos de diferencia (19-9). Sin embargo, el Slavia no se dejó impresionar por la salida en tromba del Simmenthal ni por el ensordecedor sonido ambiente, y gracias a la aportación de Baroch, Šťastný y Zídek logró no sólo empatar el partido (21-21, min. 12), sino incluso ponerse por delante en el marcador (22-27). La escuadra milanista, liderada por Vianello, Bradley y Thoren, pudo reaccionar a tiempo y al descanso se retiró con ventaja de seis puntos (41-35).

 

Una nueva salida en tromba del Simmenthal en la segunda mitad le permitió alcanzar la máxima ventaja de todo el partido (53-39, min. 25), y pese a que el equipo checoslovaco logró acercarse de nuevo en el marcador (53-51), los hombres de Cesare Rubini supieron jugar bien sus cartas y terminaron alzándose con la victoria y el título europeo.
