Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti admits he owes a gift to Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp.
Ancelotti became close to Klopp when in charge of Everton.
And ahead of tonight's Champions League round 16 first-leg encounter at Anfield, he recalled: "We have a really good relationship with each other. We spent a year and a half together in Liverpool during a pandemic.
"We wrote together and exchanged gifts. He is a very amiable man.
Indeed, there were many gifts, with Ancelotti clearly remembering what Klopp gave him ahead of Real Madrid's meeting with Liverpool in the Champions League final last year.
"An electronic cigarette," says the Italian, who had not brought a present for the German.
"He will get one when we meet in Madrid."
