Ancelotti
Thus, the final against Pachuca, where the white club did not find a rival, left countless moments to remember that perhaps television did not show. “I made a call to see if I could sign for Real Madrid and they fell into the trap”Ancelotti joked after becoming the coach with the most titles in the history of the white club.

Before, with Rodrygo’s goal, he had a fight with Moreno, Pachuca’s goalkeeper, after both were angry at not reaching an understanding. The 5th explained that he had crouched down so as not to disturb them and the goalkeeper remained adamant that this was not the case. Jude didn’t even celebrate the goal with his teammates, to whom he ended up explaining his version before the referee won over the public for the first time with his chatty English and his explanations for controversial plays.
At the celebration, Jude let go and brought out a camera of counted shots to fill a party with his companions with memories.
