AC Milan take on Real Madrid in Chicago tonight and that means they will be reunited with Carlo Ancelotti, who had a few words on his former club.
Milan are back in action in the 2024 Soccer Champions Tour when they face off against the champions of Europe, Real Madrid, and you can read our preview ahead of the game for all the information you need to know.
Ancelotti is someone who needs little introduction for Milan fans given what he achieved at the club after joining in 2001, including the 2002–03 Champions League and 2002–03 Coppa Italia. The following season, he won the Scudetto and another Champions League three years after that.
He is the longest-serving manager in the history of the club when considering only single spells, and he has won 13 trophies with Real Madrid including three UCLs, establishing himself as one of the greatest managers of all time.
Ancelotti spoke at his pre-match press conference on the eve of the game at Soldier Field and he was asked for a few thoughts on Milan, which were relayed on Reddit.
“Milan are doing a great job with Ibrahimovic. Milan are missing Paolo Maldini, but that’s football. They got a great striker like Morata. Camarda is a young man and is very good,” he said.
