Ancelotti’s moment of glory in 2014 when he led Real Madrid to the most coveted cup of them all.
May 28th this year will see a replay between the same two Spanish sides that played that famous Champion’s League final in 2014.
That time around Atletico led 1- 0 for most of the game and managed to get within two agonising minutes of completing the grandest of all coups.
Then came the corner and Sergio Ramos headed in one the best goals of his careers to give Real an equaliser they had spent most of the game desperately hunting for.
Atletico,after coming so very close to victory,couldn’t take the disappointment and fell apart after that.
The game went to extra time and they lost 4 -1.
Highlights of that epic,
This time around Atletico have a shot at redemption.
Atletico have never won the European Cup, Real have done it 10 times before
It is the season of Leicester,the season of the underdog,and there’s a tide in the affairs of men that taken at the flood leads to fortune.
Atletico are on the cusp of rewriting history,becoming legends in their own time.
If they beat Real to the become the champions of Spain and Europe, they will also be denying them an unprecedented eleventh title.
Zidane was on the sidelines in 2014 as coach of the Real Madrid’s B team and this time he is on the sidelines again.And he knows that this time around Atletico definitely look the better side.
