Emotional after a historic victory for both himself and Real Madrid, Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti honestly confessed that he couldn't believe he had won the Champions League again. In form and substance, the Whites' victory is the closest thing to a miracle, that's why the Whites' coach, always honest with reality, was amazed by what happened.
"I dont believe it. I do not believe that I have four Champions ”, she began. With this new title, they join the ones he won with Milan in 2003 and 2007 and with Real Madrid in 2014 and now. A milestone that will go down in history, as he breaks the tie with Bob Paisley and Zinedine Zidane, who have three.
Regarding the game itself, the final that Courtois won with his saves and Vinícius with his goal, Ancelotti acknowledged that they had “come out of a difficult game well, but we deserved it, suffering, but the commitment was perfect. Very happy because we finished the season well, ”he summed up.
The coach acknowledged that the plan was to remain grouped in a low block to prevent Liverpool from running. “What we have done is not let them play their vertical game. They have not been able to find our back, they have had opportunities but the plan was this and it has gone well”.
Asked about Thibaut Courtois's great game and if he had seen any performance of such a level in goal, the coach was categorical. “I have seen it again from Courtois, he has had a fantastic season”, he concluded
Already when he seemed to say goodbye and without anyone asking him, Ancelotti took the floor to send a message perhaps to Kylian Mbappé, perhaps to the PSG leaders. “As they say in France: ‘C'est Real Madrid. Period,” he concluded.
