One year later, Olympiacos managed to do the unthinkable. The team remained in the European for a second season in a row. Coach Bartzokas' players kept stayed on their pedestal for a second consecutive season playing riveting basketball during the London Final Four and dismantling CSKA Μoscow and Real Madrid for the legendary Back2Back.

The Russian team was first in the semis. Where the 'reds' made a showcase of their power destryoing them 69-52. Olympiacos, although trailing by 17 during the first quarter of the final (27-10), once again turned the game over and sealed and incredible Back2Back with a 100-88 victory thus entering a very private club of teams that have won two consecutive titles.
