The Italian maestro is currently spearheading Real Madrid's formidable campaign across La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Champions League despite the departure of Karim Benzema to Saudi Arabia in the summer, per Football Italia.

Ancelotti has crafted a winning ensemble, notably utilizing Jude Bellingham as a No.10 behind the strikers, reaping rewards with the Englishman's impressive tally of 17 goals and five assists in 20 appearances across all competitions, as per Transfermarkt.

While the 20-year-old's impact in the attacking realm has been noteworthy, Eduardo Camavinga has thrived in versatile roles for Los Blancos, showcasing his prowess in midfield, left-back, and defensive duties.

Similarly, Aurelien Tchouameni has maintained an exceptional performance for the White Angels throughout the season.
