Champions League: Ancelotti speaks on Real Madrid vs Liverpool final

Ancelotti will be the first coach in history to coach in five Champions League finals.

Los Blancos qualified by beating Manchester City 3-1 on Wednesday night, to overturn a 4-3 defeat from the first leg of their semi-final.

Ancelotti, who quit as Everton manager last summer to return to the Bernabeu for his second spell in charge, has previously faced Liverpool in two Champions League finals as a coach, when in charge of AC Milan.

"I'm very happy to play another final, against a great team, Liverpool," Ancelotti said.

"I played against Liverpool as a player in 1984 [in the European Cup final] and then [as coach] in 2005, 2007 and again now. I lived in Liverpool for two years. For me it's a derby, I'm still an Evertonian."
