Russian basketball team CSKA have won the most prestigious club competition in Europe. The Moscow side beat Israeli rivals Maccabi in the Euroleague final in Spain.
CSKA have been crowned Euroleague champions again, reclaiming the title they surrendered to Greek side Panathinaikos last year.
It is the sixth overall success for Moscow's Red Army team, and the second in their Russian history.
In the final, which took place in Madrid, Ettore Messina's men overcame Israel's Maccabi 91-77.
American Trjan Langdon became one of the heroes in CSKA's victory, grabbing 21 points on the night.
CSKA were in the final for the third time in a row.
In 2006 CSKA also overcame Maccabi in Prague, but lost the Euroleague title a year later to the hosts of the 2007 final Greek Panathinaikos.
