During Real Madrid’s 2-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao on January 22, 2023, a fan seated behind the team’s bench called out to head coach Carlo Ancelotti, requesting a piece of his chewing gum. Known for his habitual gum-chewing during matches, Ancelotti was initially surprised but obliged, handing the fan a piece of gum before resuming his position. This lighthearted exchange occurred just before the second half commenced. On the field, Karim Benzema opened the scoring in the first half, and substitute Toni Kroos secured the win with a late goal, maintaining Real Madrid’s pursuit of La Liga leaders Barcelona.

Yeah, that moment was pure gold! Ancelotti fixing Arda Güler’s tie before an event really showed his warm, fatherly (or even grandfatherly) side. You can tell he genuinely cares about his players beyond just football. It’s little gestures like this that make him so beloved—he’s not just a legendary coach but also a mentor who creates a family-like atmosphere at Real Madrid. Arda must’ve felt special having such an iconic manager looking out for him like that!

Carlo ancelotti is the best
Carlo Ancelotti’s best moment was winning La Décima with Real Madrid in 2014. After a 12-year wait, his team secured the Champions League title with a dramatic 4-1 win over Atlético Madrid. Sergio Ramos’ last-minute equalizer forced extra time, where Real dominated. Ancelotti’s tactical genius and calm leadership helped Madrid finally achieve their long-awaited dream. This victory cemented his legacy as one of the greatest managers in football history.
