Champions League: Ancelotti extends record and reaches his sixth final | Champions League

Carlo Ancelotti never tires of breaking marks. In this case, he is the record holder. But he extended his lead. The Real Madrid coach won his place in the sixth Champions League final of his career after incredible comeback against Bayern Munich. He is the first coach to reach such a number and now with two decisions ahead of the others.

“It would be a beautiful story for Dortmund to win the Champions League”, says Rizek

— It happened again. Players don’t stop believing. It’s something magical. We played well, it was complicated. We had control of the match and then the strength to not lose our head. (Real Madrid) It’s a family, managed very well by the president. Here the captain of the boat is Florentino Pérez. It is a football club with a history and tradition that weighs heavily — commented the coach.

Now, Ancelotti has three finals in charge of Real Madrid (2014, 2022 and 2024) and three with Milan (2003, 2005 and 2007). The Italian, who turns 65 in June, is looking for his fifth title. With four cups, he already occupies the top of this list. And you can expand the margin. A former midfielder, Ancelotti still has two titles as a player, both with Milan: in 1989 and 1990.
