The appointment of Carlo Ancelotti at the head of the Brazilian selection, formalized on May 26, ended one of the largest rivalries in European football. In recent years, one of the most striking posters in the Champions League indeed opposed Real Madrid from the “Mister” to the Manchester City of Pep Guardiola.
A change of decor that the Spanish technician welcomes with a smile. Delighted for his Italian counterpart, he also does not hide his relief from not crossing his journey in the next European campaigns. And for good reason, the balance sheet of their duels leans on the side of Ancelotti, with 4 victories, 2 draws and 2 defeats against Catalan.
Madrid domination
“I am very happy for him. But I am so happy that he is no longer in Madrid because he always beats me. I no longer have to manage it ”, Launched Guardiola with humor in an interview with Wiloo's YouTube channel.
As a reminder, during the last four editions of the LDC, Real Madrid eliminated Manchester City three times, against a single elimination suffered against the Citizens. And apart from this season, the winner of these double confrontations has always ended up lifting the cup with big ears. Like a final before the hour.
