Carlo Ancelotti believes Real Madrid’s record of 13 European Cup wins is a “positive burden” for his players as they face Manchester City in the Champions League semi-final first leg on Tuesday night.
Real last won the competition in 2018, sealing a third consecutive triumph, while Ancelotti was the head coach who guided the club to their 10th success in 2014. Although the Italian said he and his team are happy to have reached the last four, the 62-year-old manager stated success in the competition for Real is to be in the final.
