Real Madrid's 'history keeps us going', says Ancelotti
Carlo Ancelotti said the "history of the club" helped his Real Madrid side stage another Champions League comeback to down Manchester City on Wednesday and reach the final.
The 13-time European champions trailed 1-0 on the night and 5-3 on aggregate in the last-four tie entering the 90th minute, but Rodrygo scored a late double and Karim Benzema's extra-time penalty sent them through.
Real had also come from behind to beat Paris Saint-Germain in the last 16 and Chelsea in the quarter-finals.
"I cannot say we are used to living this kind if life, but what happened tonight it happened against Chelsea and also against PSG," Ancelotti told BT Sport after becoming the first coach in history to reach five finals in the competition.
"If you have to say why, it is the history of this club that helps us to keep going when it seems that we are gone.
"The game was close to finished and we managed to find the last energy we had."
The 6-5 aggregate triumph sends Madrid into a record-extending 17th Champions League final, where Ancelotti could set a new record of four European Cups as a coach.
Six-time winners Liverpool will be their opponents in the final on May 28 in Paris.
"I am happy to be there in the final, in Paris against another great rival," added the 62-year-old Ancelotti.
"We are used to it. It will be a fantastic game for football."
Ancelotti also became the first coach to win all five of Europe's top leagues when Real sealed the La Liga title last weekend.
