The Dream

One of the greatest club managers tells the story of his life through his record-breaking seven Champions League wins

Carlo Ancelotti has won domestic titles in all of Europes top five leagues, with teams including AC Milan, Juventus, Paris St Germain, Bayern Munich, Chelsea and currently Real Madrid. Yet the accolade that truly sets him apart from his contemporaries is his track record in the Champions League. As a player, Ancelotti lifted the trophy twice; as a manager he has brought Champions League glory to his teams five times (and counting).

A League of My Own is the story of Carlo’s love affair with the world’s most sought-after title. Weaving stories from his life into an in-depth narrative of each Champions League campaign, Carlo creates a rich football memoir that takes you inside the mind of a winner. From dreaming of the trophy as a child, to the key games, players and moments of each campaign, we build a unique sense of a great tactician at work, as well as an intimate portrait of club football’s greatest competition.
