Ancelotti has taken charge of more European Cup matches than any other Real Madrid coach
The game against Manchester City was the Italian's 72nd in charge of our team in the competition.
Carlo Ancelotti oversaw his 72nd European Cup game as Real Madrid coach in the win over Manchester City. The figure means he has taken charge of more games than any other manager of our club in the continent's top competition, eclipsing Miguel Muñoz (71).
Of the 72 games he's been at the helm, 51 have ended in victory, 9 in draws and 12 in defeat, a record that makes him the madridista coach with the most ever wins in the competition as well. Ancelotti has lifted the European Cup three times at Real Madrid (2014, 2022 and 2024).
A legendary career
Our coach is a true legend of European football: he has managed the most games in the European Cup (219), clinched the most victories (126), and is the only man to have won it 5 times (three with Real Madrid and twice with Milan).
