Madrid –
Carlo Ancelotti considers Napoli to be the favorite to win the Champions League. Don Carlo was amazed by Il Partenopei’s performance under Luciano Spalletti this season.
Carlo Ancelotti is ready to continue the mission of defending the Champions League title with Real Madrid. El Real was able to advance to the quarterfinals. They will host Chelsea at the Santiago Bernabeu in the first leg of the quarterfinals (13/4).
Apart from Madrid and Chelsea, the six other teams that are still competing to be able to lift The Big Ear are three Italian teams namely AC Milan, Inter Milan and Napoli, as well as Bayern Munich, Manchester City and Benfica.
Of the eight teams, Don Carlo considered Napoli to be a strong candidate to become champions. He is more of a candidate for Napoli than the two teams he is closer to, namely AC Milan and Madrid.
Ancelotti has indeed coached Napoli but not for as long as he has coached Madrid and Milan. He coached the club from Naples for only one year in the 2018-2019 range. Meanwhile, Ancelotti coached Milan for eight seasons and two periods in Madrid (2013-2015, 2021-present).
Ancelotti favored Napoli because he was amazed by their performance this season under the tutelage of Luciano Spalletti. Apart from still competing in the Champions League, Il Parteinopei also did not touch the top of the Serie A standings.
Napoli at the top of the Italian League with 71 points. They are 16 points ahead of Lazio in second place.
“They overhauled the squad and changed the pecking order in the locker room by bringing a new atmosphere and motivation. Luciano Spalletti is one of the best tacticians. This bundle of happy things allowed them to win titles,” Ancelotti said as quoted by DAZN.
