COLOGNE, Germany— Double NBA champion Pau Gasol reached the first Euroleague final of his trophy-laden career as Barcelona edged Armani Milan 84-82 in a riveting clash on Friday to set up a title showdown with Anadolu Efes Istanbul.
Gasol, who won back to back titles with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2009 and 2010, will head into Sunday’s clash with Efes after losing to the Turkish side in the 2000 Euroleague third-place match during his first stint with Barcelona.
The iconic 40-year old center, who won the 2006 world championship and three European titles with Spain, contributed to his boyhood club’s win with a superb cameo appearance in the first half.
