Real Madrid continues to set the gold standard in the modern EuroLeague era, but they're far from the only story. AS Monaco has made a meteoric rise since joining the competition, while reigning champion Panathinaikos Athens has clawed its way back into the elite, rejoining the Top 8 most successful teams of the round-robin era, BasketNews' data shows.

BasketNews looked at EuroLeague regular season results since 2016–17 to find which teams have won the most, which shareholder teams have struggled, and which non-shareholder clubs are on the rise.

Real Madrid stands alone at the top—no team has been more dominant in the modern EuroLeague era, with a win rate over 282 games that clearly separates them from the rest.

AS Monaco's rapid rise is among the most impressive stories in recent memory. After just a few years in the league, they've already finished in the Top 4 three seasons in a row.

Panathinaikos have returned to the elite with a 66% win rate over the last two seasons—but they still face a steep climb to catch the league's top-tier teams.

Meanwhile, two clubs have fallen well behind the pack, while the middle of the table is a chaotic battleground, with several teams hovering near the 50% mark.

We also spotlight the top-performing non-shareholder teams—the very ones that might soon be knocking on the EuroLeague's door for wild cards and long-term licenses.
