• However, Ancelotti's landmark moment ended on a bitter note as his team struggled away at the Etihad Stadium

Carlo Ancelotti cut a worried figure as he watched his Real Madrid side helplessly go down two-nil at half-time, during their Champions League semi-final reverse tie against Manchester City.

According to AS, the Italian manager, who reached a milestone in the match, first had a heartfelt conversation with Vinicius Junior after Bernardo Silva broke the deadlock by being put through on goal by Kevin De Bruyne.

Ancelotti's night of glory then turned into agony as an own-goal from Eder Militao and a strike from substitute, Julian Alvarez handed his charges a heavy defeat, per Eurosport.
