Under the leadership of Carlo Ancelotti for the second time this season, Real Madrid is going through a good moment both in the Champions League and in LaLiga Santander. In the continental tournament, the Madrid club is the leader of its group, while in the domestic tournament it is also the leader, provisionally, after defeating Rayo Vallecano 2-1 in matchday 13, a victory that represents the hundredth win for 'Carletto' at the Casa Blanca.
With this important figure, the Italian manager joins a select group of seven coaches who have achieved 100 or more victories at the helm of the Real Madrid squad. In addition, he is the second coach who needed the fewest matches to reach this statistic (135), only behind Portuguese José Mourinho, who did it in 133 matches.
