It was the first time Los Blancos had mustered a win over their English counterparts at the Bernabeu, and will be looking forward to punching their ticket into the last four at Stamford Bridge.

While the action took place on the pitch, Ancelotti, who usually poses a calm character, opted to entertain the crowd from the touchline, per UKSport News.

A midfielder during his heydays, the 63-year-old Italian showed he still has his football ability during the course of the match as he controlled a ball that came his way.

With his hands in his pocket, Ancelotti joggled the ball for a short while, then volleyed the ball back towards the pitch, much to the amusement of the fans.
