Real Madrid won the 2012 Supercopa Endesa 27 years later! After a great cup in Zaragoza by winning in a spectacular match against Barcelona 84-95. Led by former NBA player Rudy (22 points), Carroll (17) and Llull (14).
Rudy Fernandez gave energy to Real Madrid during the first period by gathering a 7 point lead to finish (30-23). During the second period Barcelona adjusted their defense and won the second period and closed the lead to one point. After the half it was pretty much Real Madrid down the stretch with Llull performing great in the third, while Carroll cleaned up it in the 4th to give Real Madrid the Super Cup crown 27 years later.
