Ancelotti thinks ‘the Evertonians will support Real Madrid’ over Liverpool in Champions League final

Carlo Ancelotti has insisted that Real Madrid’s players are ‘very calm’ ahead of the Champions League final against Liverpool.

Ancelotti won the European Cup twice with AC Milan as a player. He later helped them lift the title in 2003 and 2007 while he was manager. He also won the trophy with Real Madrid in 2014.

After spells at Bayern Munich and Napoli, Ancelotti took over at Everton in December 2019.

That decision has proved a masterstroke, with Ancelotti helping Real to win LaLiga at a canter and leading the comeback kings on a rollercoaster ride to Saturday’s Champions League final against Liverpool.

“Then there was a phone call with Jose Angel (Sanchez) and the president (Florentino Perez).

“This year feels like a long time. I’m treating it naturally. Getting to this final, it’s a big success for us, we know how demanding this club is – it’s all about the club’s history.

“It’s been a big feat to get to this point. We think we’ve had a very good season and we are very close
