SOPRON (Hungary) - Alba Torrens has served up a slice of history by adding another EuroLeague Women winners' medal to her collection.
A key part of the UMMC Ekaterinburg side that stormed their way to a 91-67 triumph against Dynamo Kursk in Sopron, Torrens has become the first Spanish player to win five titles.
This was her third with UMMC and second in three campaigns, having won both the 2018 and 2016 editions.
Congratulations to the amazing Alba Torrens

Prior to that, she won with Galatasaray in 2014, ironically shattering the dreams of hosts and her current employers, UMMC. The following summer she would pen a deal to move to Ekaterinburg.
Meanwhile her maiden title came at Perfumerias Avenida back in 2011.
Next on the agenda for Torrens will be to try and add a third FIBA Women's EuroBasket gold medal to her resume this summer with the Spanish national team.
