Carlo Ancelotti has been through quite a bit in football, suffered failures, but instead of breaking from them he has learned to live with them. At the age of 63, with a quiet and different character from the beginning of his career, he is a game away from another Champions League final.

Tonight, in the semi-final against Manchester City, the 63-year-old Italian will also become the manager with the most appearances at the club, reaching 191 games. He is the only coach to have won championships in the continent's five major leagues.
