Chelsea legend John Terry congratulated ex-Blues manager Carlo Ancelotti on winning his fifth Champions League title as a manager after Real Madrid defeated Borussia Dortmund in the final to lift their 15th Champions League trophy.
Terry took to Instagram, posting a photo of Ancelotti holding the trophy, and wrote, “Congratulations, @mrancelotti. Champions League as a player. Champions League as a manager. He was an unbelievable manager, a man manager, and a great man. You deserve this boss,” accompanied by a trophy, a blue heart, and other emojis.
Real Madrid’s triumph in their 15th Champions League final cements their status as the most accomplished club in the tournament’s history. Achieving a record 15 titles is one of the biggest feats in football, a testament to their enduring European pedigree and ability to excel in the biggest matches.
Ancelotti’s success at Real Madrid is remarkable, having secured two Champions League titles in his three-year tenure at the club. Often underrated, Ancelotti has made managing at the highest level look effortless, even when facing immense pressure in big games.
Winning five Champions League titles as a manager is no small feat, marking Ancelotti as one of the most decorated head coaches in football history. His impressive career also includes leading Chelsea to the Premier League title in the 2009-10 season, as well as winning the FA Cup and the Community Shield in 2009.
His contributions to Chelsea will always be greatly valued by the Blues. Under new manager Enzo Maresca, Chelsea will be aiming to qualify for the Champions League next season. The club hopes to expand their European trophy cabinet, which currently boasts two Champions League titles from 2012 and 2021, to three.
Ancelotti is not the only one with Chelsea connections to revel in Real Madrid’s glory. On-loan goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga too secured his second European triumph in the Champions League. The season-long stint at the Santiago Bernabeu has certainly proven fruitful to his ambitions.
