Real Madrid manager, Carlo Ancelotti has named his three most unforgettable games during his two stints at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Ancelotti spoke at his pre-match press conference ahead of Real Madrid’s LaLiga El Clasico with Barcelona on Sunday.

The Italian is on the verge of an exit from the Los Blancos at the end of the season.

Ancelotti is set to take the head coaching job of the Brazil national team as Xabi Alonso has been rumored to replace him at Madrid.

Speaking about the most unforgettable games at Madrid, Ancelotti said (via Madrid Xtra): “The three most unforgettable games at Real Madrid? Lisbon 2014, Paris 2022, London 2024. It’s not difficult.”

Ancelotti is widely regarded as the most successful manager in the UEFA Champions League history.

The 65-year-old has won five Champions League trophies – two with AC Milan and three with Real Madrid.

Notably, the three games Ancelotti mentioned are the Champions League finals he won at Madrid.

Recall that Ancelotti led Madrid to beat Atletico in 2014, Liverpool in 2022 and Dortmund in 2024.

EPL: Sign Osimhen instead of Gyokeres – Ferdinand advises Man United

Rio Ferdinand

Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has advised his former club to sign Victor Osimhen instead of Viktor Gyokeres.

The Red Devils are in search of more firepower upfront after an underwhelming campaign.

The duo of Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee failed to deliver the goods, with United finishing in a disappointing 15th position on the table.

Ruben Amorim’s side also lost to Tottenham Hotspur in the final of the UEFA Europa League.

Gyokeres, who had an outstanding campaign for Portuguese club Sporting Lisbon, has been linked with a move to Old Trafford.

The forward scored 39 goals and registered eight assists to help Sporting Lisbon clinch the Portuguese League title.

Despite his impressive form in front of goal, Ferdinand believed Osimhen would be a better fit for his old club.

“I think Gyokeres, everyone’s talking about him. Again, I think if I’m looking at the market now and I had to pick him or Osimhen, I’d probably pick Osimhen because of that experience,” the former England international told the Mirror.
