In an interview with the official UEFA media on Thursday, Carlo Ancelotti discussed Real Madrid's most recent Champions League triumph, focusing on the team's comeback victories over PSG, Chelsea, and Manchester City. "It is a very recent memory, and the atmosphere in the stadium and among the supporters was also very unique. Thanks to the encouragement from the spectators, we were able to complete every comeback in our stadium. Never give up; always have faith in yourself. After all, we competed with very powerful teams. We had to experience pain eventually."

"All of that makes me very proud. Both Real Madrid and I have had an amazing season. Naturally, coming back to Real Madrid has made me feel extremely happy. Maintaining my position as manager of this fantastic team and club is crucial to me," explained Ancelotti.

Additionally, Carletto analyzed the differences between the two Champions Leagues he won with Real Madrid in 2014 and 2022: "In 2014, the Décima was probably more predictable because the team had already come very close to winning it many times. We had recently added Gareth Bale, and we were the favorites to take home the trophy. We were not the favorites this year, but we still prevailed because of the excellent teamwork and talent on our team. The older players' humility and wisdom, along with the younger players' vigor and enthusiasm, were, in my opinion, the decisive elements."
