ZARAGOZA (Spain) - Tied as joint-record holders with a stunning six EuroLeague Women titles, Emma Meesseman or Alba Torrens could put their name at the very top of an incredible list if they can lift the coveted silverware in Zaragoza on Sunday.
Both players are stepping out at Final Six with Fenerbahce Opet and Valencia Basket Club respectively, bidding for an unprecedented seventh title. The duo currently share pole position in the winners' chart alongside the legendary Diana Taurasi, as well as Natalia Vieru.
You have the opportunity to let us know in the fan poll below which player you think will set the record, or if you think neither will make it to number seven this season.
The first four titles for Meesseman all came for Russian powerhouse UMMC Ekaterinburg in 2016, 2018, 2019 and 2021. She then delivered with Fenerbahce as they won a historic first ever title in 2022, prior to defending their crown at last year's edition in Mersin.
Torrens tipped off with a surprise success in 2011 when wearing a Perfumerias Avenida jersey, then followed it up with another shock win in 2014 as she made history with Galatasaray when they became the first ever Turkish champions.
The Spanish ace won her next four titles while playing alongside Meesseman at UMMC in 2016, 2018, 2019 and 2021.
