The Italian tactician will be in the dugout for Los Blancos' second-leg semifinal clash with Man City, with the 63-year-old set to surpass this Sir Alex Ferguson record.

Given that Carlo Ancelotti is one of the greatest managers to have graced the beautiful game, the Italian is no stranger to records.

Having coached the likes of Real Madrid, AC Milan, Juventus, Chelsea, Bayern Munich, and PSG, it's no surprise to see the 63-year-old in the history books of several top European competitions.

However, on Wednesday, the Italian could achieve one of the best milestones of his trophy-laden career. Should things go according to plan, Ancelotti will be in the dugout for Real Madrid's UEFA Champions League second-leg semifinal showdown with Manchester City, which will be the 191st game Don Carlo has managed in this competition.

This will see him become the most experienced tactician in the history of this prestigious tournament, surpassing the iconic Sir Alex Ferguson to become the outright manager with the most number of Champions League games under his belt.

Unlike Ferguson, whose 190 Champions League games came all at one club (Manchester United), Ancelotti's time in this competition has been spent with several top European clubs, including Milan, Juventus, Bayern, and even Parma.

However, most of Ancelotti's 190 games were spent managing the two most successful clubs in UEFA Champions League history: Real Madrid (49 games) and AC Milan (73 games).

While Wednesday's second-leg encounter with Manchester City will see him reach the historic 191 mark, the focus will be on beating the Cityzens and nothing else. The reigning champions drew 1-1 in the first leg at Santiago Bernabeu, meaning Benzema and Co. must triumph at the Etihad Stadium in order to progress to the final.

If the Spanish giants can pull this off, then that would mark a special occasion in the iconic manager's illustrious career. Do not miss Wednesday's highly-anticipated fixture.
