Close the circuit. However, there is still something missing. Carlo Ancelotti was the most famous coach of the week after becoming the first ever coach to win the trophy in the five major European leagues: Serie A with Milan, first with Chelsea, Ligue 1 with Paris Saint-Germain, Bundesliga with Bayern and now La Liga with Real MadridTomorrow he will play the wonderful return match in the semi-final against Manchester City. Enough with the clubs, says Reggiolo Director. He did so in an interview with Prime Video: “After Real Madrid I will probably stop. But if Real Madrid kept me here for ten years, I will train for ten years. After I want to be with my grandchildren, go on vacation with my wife, there are so many things to do that I have left that I want to do. Going to many places I’ve never been before. I have never been to Australia before. I have never been to Rio de Janeiro. Visit my sister often. Unfortunately, it’s not like you can do everything, so the day I quit I will have all these things to do.”

Coach but does not manage. Karim should use. He manages himself because he is a great professional, very humble, a great player. Karim doesn’t say anything to him, that’s the truth. He solved a lot. Matches for us, he’s been decisive this season – he admits Ancelotti – at the moment he is one of the most famous players in the world and he keeps His great humility, and I think that’s his strength. But you don’t win only for Benzema, there is a strong structure for a strong club, the quality of a high-level team. The Ballon d’Or?
