Tomorrow, Tuesday, when Real Madrid plays its Ukrainian host Shakhtar Donetsk in the fourth round of the group stage of the Champions League for the current season 2023, Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti is hoping for a new Champions League record.
Tomorrow night, Tuesday, Real Madrid will go to Shakhtar in the Polish city of Warsaw. Real Madrid now leads the group with a full score after three games, while Shakhtar is in second position with four points.
Additionally, if Real Madrid defeats Shakhtar, coach Ancelotti would have won 103 games in the Champions League, becoming him the competition’s all-time winningest coach.
Ancelotti achieved 102 victories in 182 games, matching Sir Alex Ferguson’s record of 102 triumphs in 186 European games, in their most recent meeting during the first leg of the Karak match against Shakhtar in the third round.
Ancelotti was successful with eight clubs in Europe, including Milan (40 victories), Real Madrid (31 victories), Chelsea (9 victories), Bayern (7 victories), Paris Saint-Germain (6 victories), Napoli (5 victories), Juventus, and Parma (2 wins).
