Carlo Ancelotti, the head coach of Real Madrid, recently reaffirmed the importance of the UEFA Champions League for the club. With a record 14 Champions League titles to their name, Real Madrid has a historic connection with this prestigious competition. Ancelotti himself made history in 2022 by becoming the most successful head coach in the Champions League when he secured his fourth title with Real Madrid in a thrilling final against Liverpool.
Although Manchester City knocked them out in the semi-finals last season and went on to claim the crown, Ancelotti expressed his team's high motivation to compete in this year's tournament. He stated, 'The motivation to go all the way is always high because I like what I do and where I do it. I like the squad and the players I have. And now the competition that this club likes the most is back.'
