Ancelotti breaks Fergie's record

Despite Real's heavy defeat, it was not all gloom for Ancelotti, who inked his name in the history books of the Champions League after the clash.

According to The Mirror, this was the Italian's 191st match he has coached in the competition, thus surpassing Ferguson's 190 fixtures he was in charge of.

Incredibly, this is the second record Ancelotti has snapped from Fergie, having usurped the Scottishman's 102 wins in the tournament earlier on in the season.

Meanwhile, Fergie won the Champions League on two occasions with Manchester United during his glittering managerial career at Old Trafford.

On his part, Ancelotti has lifted the prestigious trophy four times - twice with Real Madrid and twice with AC Milan.
