Arsenal train ahead of Real Madrid clash

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has revealed that his 'dream' was to manage Liverpool - but he's now a 'true' Evertonian.

Ancelotti, 65, had always hoped to work in the Anfield dugout before his 18-month spell with Everton changed the course of his career.

The Italian legend left Goodison Park in 2021 after offering himself to Real but he insists that Everton hold a special place in his heart.



Ancelotti had previously managed in Madrid, helping Los Blancos finally win 'La Decima' - their 10th European Cup - in 2013.

After six years away from the Spanish capital, Real president Florentino Perez appointed him again and he's since won two more Champions League titles.

There'd be no chance of him getting the Liverpool job if he was sacked but that hasn't stopped him from revealing his 'dream'.

"My dream was to manage Liverpool, but then I found myself at Everton and experienced their rivalry, and now I'm a true Everton fan," Ancelotti declared on the Larmandillo podcast.

"I really liked the atmosphere, because there's such a spectacular passion for the colours.

You also notice the ache that Liverpool fans have for so many years and still excel in the Premier League today."

Will Real Madrid produce a comeback against Arsenal?

Ancelotti has a contract with Real until 2026 but Perez could ruthlessly relieve him of his duties this summer.

Last week, the 65-year-old confirmed that his future won't be decided until the end of this season.
