The former Serie A striker is not impressed with the veteran Italian's achievements
Real Madrid have been lucky in the Champions League this season, says former Italy striker Antonio Cassano, who cannot remember a player who has developed under Blancos boss Carlo Ancelotti.
Real have beaten PSG and Chelsea in the knockout stages to set up a semi-final clash with Manchester City.
It means Ancelotti is now the only coach to have reached Champions League semi-finals in four different decades - but Cassano isn't convinced

Real's two knockout ties have been action-packed so far, with 14 goals scored across the four matches.
They fought back from 2-0 on aggregate to progress against PSG courtesy of an 18-minute hat-trick from Karim Benzema.
It was even closer against holders Chelsea, with Benzema again the hero with an extra-time header that sealed a 5-4 aggregate victory at the Santiago Bernabeu.
That, however, is not enough to impress Cassano, who believes their fortune will run out eventually.
“Real Madrid played badly against Chelsea and PSG, he [Ancelotti] was really, really lucky. But luck will end sooner or later,” Cassano told Bobo TV on Twitch.
As well as progressing in the Champions League real look set for a 35th La Liga title, with the Spanish giants 12 points clear at the top of the table with seven games to play.
Cassano remains unimpressed however and has again takes aim at manager Ancelotti, who left Everton last summer for a second spell with the Spanish giants.
“Real Madrid don’t play well in La Liga, Barcelona had a bad start, but now it’s a different story,” he added.
“Ancelotti makes players feel well, but I can’t remember one who developed under him.”

I do agree with this. This coach does not have game plan. We have been a lucky for sure. I don't need him for next season before things worsening. No Real Madrid Castilla's players were developed under his managerial role. Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo, Valverde even Camavinga he found them already on the top.

I sit and ask myself why all these haters keep talking about lucky. this was the very thing they said we we won the 3 UCL in a row. Now what I ask is, given this is a game, should we fold our arms and let opponents get the win because they had a better play? Bullsh*t. Real Madrid is bigger than you can imagine, from the mindset of players to it's fans. REAL MADRID WILL ALWAYS RISE AND TAKE BACK ITS PLACE IF IT FALLS. U CAN ALL GO KISS AN ELECTRIC POLE😠😠😠🤗

I don't understand some Realmadrid fans here. Truth is always bitter. I'm not saying this because Cassano talked about Ancelotti. I myself have been saying this times without numbers on this Football App. Ancelotti tactics is so ugly and truly doesn't trust young players therefore, Ancelotti can't develop a young players to become Star
