Khimki Moscow Region recovered from a 17-game slip on Tuesday night with a narrow win over Real Madrid that put an end to a significant bad record for the Russian side.
This losing streak, however, has not been a first in the competition. Several teams, during the old and new format, have struggled to keep up with the competition, entering the “history books” of EuroLeague as those with the longest losing streaks.
12. Cibona Zagreb
Lost streak: 11 *
Season: 1 game from 2009-10 and 10 from 2010-11
The first entry on the list is somewhat of a “cheat”. Cibona Zagreb had eleven consecutive defeats between the last game of the 2009-10 season and the entire following campaign.
The Croatian team lost their last game in the Top 16 of 2010, to Baskonia. A memorable squad, that featured Beno Udrih, Leon Radosevic, Marko Tomas and Bojan Bogdanovic.
