Carlo Ancelotti reckons Real Madrid will have plenty of support on Merseyside from supporters of his former club Everton.
Ancelotti is set to manage in a record fifth Champions League final on Saturday when Real take on Liverpool after returning to the club from Everton last year.
The 62-year-old was axed by the La Liga side in 2015 having led them to a 10th Champions League title the previous year. Stints at Bayern Munich and Napoli followed before he took the Everton job in December 2019.
He guided the Blues to 12th that season and 10th in his only full campaign with the club before returning to Real.
"I know that the Evertonians support us tomorrow, for sure," said Ancelotti in his pre-match press conference.
"I know there is a big rivalry on Merseyside. I have a good memory from my time spent in Liverpool on the blue side and I'm sure they will support me tomorrow
