Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti knows they could face Italian opposition in the Champions League quarterfinals.
There are three Italian teams in the final eight – AC Milan, Inter Milan and Napoli – and four Italian coaches, represented by Ancelotti, Stefano Pioli, Simone Inzaghi and Luciano Spalletti.
The other quarter-finalists are Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Manchester City and Benfica.
“To be honest, the ideal would be for us to meet Milan in the Final in Istanbul, but there is a long way to go," Ancelotti told Sky Italia.
“Napoli are doing very well, they are dominating Serie A and can therefore concentrate entirely on the Champions League. All the potential opponents in the quarter-final are dangerous, it will be a real battle."
