Carlo Ancelotti's Milestone Win: Legendary manager Carlo Ancelotti continues his fairytale second-stint with Real Madrid, as Los Blancos have won yet another European trophy under the tutelage of the most successful manager in UEFA Champions League history. Carlo Ancelotti is the only manager in the history to win more than 3 UCL titles, as he has won 5 in total (3 with Real Madrid, 2 with AC Milan).
However, with him coaching Real Madrid for merely 5 seasons and 6th in running, not many can believe the fact that he is amongst the most successful managers in the history of the club, but such is the might of the Italian that he has now become the joint-most successful manager in the history of Los Blancos.
With his 14th title, the 65-year old now goes level with club legend Miguel Munoz, who won 14 titles with Real Madrid from 1960 to 1974, (2 European Cups, 1 Intercontinental Cup, 9 La Liga's and 2 Spanish Cups).
Carlo Ancelotti's night was capped off by brilliance from his 'Galacticos', as Kylian Mbappe, and Vinincius Jr, Jude Bellingham were on song in the 2-0 victory over Atalanta.
However, it was the ever-reliable Fede Valverde that proved to be the initial difference-maker, as his strike gave Real Madrid an all-important lead.
Here is the video of Fede Valverde's goal, assisted by Vinicius Jr:

As reported by Goal, Jude Bellingham had the following to say for Kylian Mbappe:
"I think it shows the intent and the mentality of the team When straight after you win the biggest prize there is, you want to go add a player like him... It's the definition of Real Madrid, that kind of signing."
"The way he played today is unbelievable, he is amazing to play with and he has been a great teammate so far. We just want to enjoy getting to understand each other's rhythm, and hopefully, assisting and scoring more goals."
"It's brilliant playing with him and [Vinicius Jr] but it's difficult sometimes. You've only got two seconds cause they are both gone. I saw him do the feint and I just thought I'd leave him the area and he finishes like he always does. It's a joy to see up close."
