In the early morning of June 2nd, Ancelotti led Real Madrid to a 2-0 victory over Borussia Dortmund at Wembley Stadium in the Champions League final, winning the team’s 15th European Cup. After the game, he shared his thoughts with the media.
Looking back on the game, Ancelotti admitted: “You never get used to the taste of victory, especially this game was tougher than we expected. We faced many challenges in the first half, but after adjustments, we showed a better performance in the second half, reduced errors, and continued to pursue our dream.”
Regarding the criticism of Vinicius, Ancelotti revealed: “Because the team was a bit lazy in the first half, we lost a lot of balls, while Dortmund firmly controlled the game, they used quick counter-attacks to create a lot of threats.”
Speaking about the emotional embrace with midfield maestro Kroos, Ancelotti said emotionally: “That was a moment filled with sadness. He chose to end his professional journey this way.”
Regarding the upcoming celebration arrangements, Ancelotti said with anticipation: “Celebration is a must! I will have a cigar, we will go to the Cibeles Square and share this glory with all the supporters.”
