The 1969/70 EuroLeague season brought together 23 teams, including the 1969 season champions – CSKA Moscow. The Soviet team was once again showing an excellent performance, reaching the Final of this EuroLeague edition. However, the Red Army side narrowly lost to the eventual champions, the Italian side – Ignis Varese, that was led by Rich Jones, Manuel Raga and Dino Meneghin.
The Italians had an almost perfect run, losing just one game on the way to the Final. In the decisive match up against the reigning champions CSKA Moscow, the 20-year-old Dino Meneghin was leading Ignis to the glory, scoring 20 points and deservedly winning the Finals MVP award. It was the first of a total of seven titles that the Italian center won during his illustrious career.
The leading scorer of the 1969/70 season was the experienced Real Madrid forward Clifford Luyk, who scored 301 points in 12 games, averaging 25.1 points per game. His scoring efforts helped Real Madrid to reach the semi-final stage, where the Spanish side lost to the eventual champions from Varese.
