    MUNICH (Germany) - Celebrations broke out across the continent this weekend as a number of Europe's biggest clubs captured their domestic cup trophies, while some smaller teams partied even harder after pulling off some massive surprises.

    The majority of the continent's cup competitions came to a dramatic ending - though some countries still have their cup competitions to be played - as the weekend marked the lead-in to the FIBA EuroBasket 2025 Qualifiers window as players join up with their national teams.

    One of the biggest highlights of the cup season thus far came in Spain where Real Madrid knocked off FC Barcelona 96-85 in El Clasico for Real's first Copa del Rey triumph since 2020.

    The biggest surprise of the weekend had to come in Italy where Basket Napoli finished off a magical Final 8 by claiming their first Italian Cup since 2006. After taking down league leaders Germani Brescia in the Quarter-Finals and then Reggio Emilia in the Semi-Finals, Napoli shocked Olimpia Milano with a 77-72 win in the title game under the guidance of Poland's head coach Igor Milicic.


    An even bigger shock happened in Montenegro where SC Derby took down Buducnost VOLI Podgorica 81-80 in overtime for their first-ever Montenegrin Cup triumph. Mateo Dreznjak scored 19 points as Buducnost failed to win the cup for just the second time in 17 editions - the other being Sutjeska's upset in 2013.


    In Turkiye, Nick Calathes flirted with a triple-double in tallying 10 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists as Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul beat Anadolu Efes Istanbul 80-67 to land silverware. FC Bayern Munich defended their German Cup title as they defeated reigning league champions ratiopharm Ulm 81-65 in the final. Olympiacos Piraeus won the Greek Cup with Moustapha Fall putting together 13 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks in a 69-58 slugfest over rivals Panathinaikos Athens.

    Crvena Zvezda Belgrade won its fourth straight Serbian Cup - known as the Radivoj Korac Cup - by beating Partizan Belgrade 85-79, while Zalgiris Kaunas captured their fifth straight King Mindaugas Cup after fending off Lietkabelis Panevezys 86-70 in Lithuania.


    In France, Paris Basketball claimed their first-ever major trophy as they fought past Nanterre 92 90-85 to win the French Leaders Cup with North Macedonia's TJ Shorts taking home MVP honors after scoring 26 points. 

    Team FOG Naestved pulled off a big upset as well as Eric Ayala scored 31 points in an 89-86 win over 13-time cup winners Bakken Bears. Luka Bozic collected a triple-double of 27 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists in helping Zadar knock off Cibona 80-68 in the Croatian Cup final.

    ERA Nymburk beat Patrioti Levice 95-82 in the Czech-Slovak Cup, while Cheshire Phoenix caused an upset in beating London Lions 98-82 in the British Basketball League Trophy.
