Emma Meesseman has further cemented her legendary status in the EuroLeague, becoming the most decorated player in the modern era of the competition. Entering this edition tied with six titles alongside Diana Taurasi, Alba Torrens, and Natalia Vieru, the Belgian star has made history by claiming her seventh championship. Meesseman contributed significantly with 20 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists.
However, it was her compatriot, Julie Allemand, who was named the MVP of the Final Six. The Belgian point guard narrowly missed a spectacular and memorable triple-double, recording 13 points, 10 assists, 9 rebounds, and 3 steals. Across her two games in the Final Six, Julie Allemand averaged an impressive evaluation of 22.0, with averages of 12.5 points, 7.0 assists, 5.5 rebounds, and 2.5 steals.
On the French side, Iliana Rupert delivered 16 points and 6 rebounds, while Gabby Williams added 8 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 steals, despite a less accurate shooting performance (1 for 8 from the field for 4 points).
The championship game remained a close contest at halftime, with Fenerbahçe holding only a five-point lead. Galatasaray had a strong start, fueled by impressive three-point shooting, including several baskets from Marine Johannes. Johannes finished the game with 12 points (4/11 from three-point range), along with 6 rebounds, 5 assists, and 5 turnovers.
Galatasaray was hampered by the absence of Teja Oblak, who was injured before the Final Six, and EuroLeague MVP Dorka Juhasz.
Meanwhile, Casademont Zaragoza concluded their debut appearance in the Final Six on a high note, securing third place with a hard-fought 66-63 victory over Spar Girona, who were also newcomers to the competition. Carla Leite, who suffered a facial injury in the quarter-finals against Basket Landes, proved decisive for Zaragoza with 20 points and 6 assists.
