Real Madrid coach, Carlo Ancelotti, said that the Champions League has an important meaning for him and the team. Therefore, Ancelotti is trying to prepare his team as well as possible before starting the journey in the 2021-2022 Champions League by facing Inter Milan.
Quoted from football-italy, Wednesday (15/9/2021), Ancelotti assesses the Champions League is a special competition for him. All of this is felt because of his success as a champion as a player and coach.
In addition, according to him, the Champions League is a competition that means a lot for Real Madrid. The reason is currently, Madrid is the holder of the most titles with 13 titles.
“This tournament means a lot to Madrid. It’s a special competition for me too, because I won it as a player and a coach with great memories, especially La Decima.
Furthermore, the Italian coach said, it is difficult to judge who is the favorite to win the Champions League because the competition has just started. Ancelotti only emphasized that Real Madrid will continue to compete and fight for this title.
“It’s difficult to say who is the favorite to win the trophy when the competition has not started. All I can say is Real Madrid will compete and fight for the prize,” said Ancelotti.
Real Madrid and Ancelotti’s journey in the Champions League will begin when they travel to Inter Milan’s headquarters at the San Siro Stadium. That will be the first match of Los Blancos – Real Madrid’s nickname – in Group D. The match will be held on Thursday 16 September 2021.
Real Madrid must certainly be wary of the promising performance of Simone Inzaghi’s Inter Milan. So far, Inter are completely unbeaten in the Italian League.
While Real Madrid, they have so far played four matches in the 2021-2022 Spanish League. As a result, three matches were successfully completed with wins, but one match ended in a draw.
