Real Madrid boss, Carlo Ancelotti on Wednesday night made history by breaking UEFA Champions League record after his team’s 3-0 victory over Braga at Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.
Goals from the trio of Brahim Diaz, Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo, gave the Italian football giants the victory over the Portugal club side.
The win over Braga was Ancelotti’s 116th in the Champions League, breaking the record for most wins by a coach in the competition.
The record has previously been joint-held by Ancelotti and legendary Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson, who both had 115.
However, with Real Madrid’s victory over Braga, Ancelotti now holds the record outright.
Meanwhile, Ancelotti won the Champions League with Real Madrid two seasons ago.
The victory over Braga means Ancelotti’s side have now qualified for the knockout stages of the Champions League.
The Italian is expected to leave Real Madrid at the end of the season when his contract expires.
