The Dream: Breaking Champions League Records
What makes the Champions League so special? For over four decades, Carlo Ancelotti has lived this competition from the inside like few others in football history – first as a player, then as one of the most successful managers of all time. In The Dream, Ancelotti revisits his personal story with the tournament that shaped his career and helped redefine European football.
From his early steps in the old European Cup, back when the competition was far from the global phenomenon it is today, to becoming the only manager to have lifted the trophy five times, Ancelotti offers an intimate, anecdote-filled account. This book is not just a tribute to trophies and magical nights, but a chronicle of parallel growth – of a legend and the tournament that marked his life.
With warmth, reflection and passion, The Dream invites readers to relive the moments that changed the course of the Champions League… and of Ancelotti himself.
