Carlo Ancelotti sets Champions League record and surpasses Sir Alex Ferguson in process

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has become the manager with the most Champions League wins in the history of the competition - surpassing Sir Alex Ferguson in the process.

The Italian has proven to be one of the most successful managers in the competition both as a player and as a coach. He twice won the previously named European Cup as a player with AC Milan before adding a further two titles at the San Siro after taking the reins with the Rossoneri.

He continued that hugely impressive form by leading Real Madrid to a record-breaking tenth European crown back in 2014. He repeated the trick with the Spanish giants last year with their success against Liverpool in Paris, with Vinicius Jr’s solitary strike proving to be enough to claim victory.
