Real Madrid and Carlo Ancelotti are looking to do the double over Napoli in the UEFA Champions League when the sides meet at the Bernabeu

Real Madrid’s Carlo Ancelotti is hoping to reach a club milestone in the UEFA Champions League when his Los Blancos side face Victor Osimhen and his Napoli side.

Ancelotti making history with Real Madrid

Ancelotti is in his second spell with Los Blancos and has enjoyed immense success with the side after winning two UEFA Champions League titles, one in each spell.

The Italian gaffer is considered one of the greatest managers in the competition’s history after winning the Champions League four times with two different clubs.

While Ancelotti is hoping to become the first manager to claim the prestigious title five times at the end of the season, a win against Napoli will bring him immediate gratification and a telling record for Los Blancos.

Real Madrid looking to do the double over Napoli

Ancelotti has currently collected 40 wins in the UEFA Champions League as coach of Real Madrid and could equal the record set by Los Blancos great Miguel Munoz, who has won the most matches in the competition with Los Merengues with 41 successes.

In addition to the record, a win for Real Madrid over Napoli will ensure the top spot in Group C and a favourable placement in the draws for the round of 16.

Real Madrid have already beaten Napoli this season, claiming a thrilling 3-2 win at the Estadio Diego Armando Maradona in the second round of group matches.
