The Champions League Trophy Is Important Not Only For Madrid But Also For Ancelotti

JAKARTA - Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti explained the importance of the Champions League for him and Real Madrid ahead of facing Inter Milan on Wednesday night local time.

Quoted by Antara from Italian Football, Wednesday, Ancelotti said that the Champions League was a special competition for him 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 because it is currently the holder of the most titles with 13 titles.

"This tournament means a lot to Madrid. This is a special competition for me too, because I managed to win it as a player and coach with good memories, especially La Decima," said Ancelotti.

Furthermore, the Italian coach said it was difficult to judge who was the favorite to win the Champions League because the competition had 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, Milan in their first match in Group D.

Real Madrid must certainly be wary of the promising performance of Simone Inzaghi's Inter Milan, who are completely unbeaten in the Italian League.
