Bayern Munich coach Carlo Ancelotti insists that the UEFA Champions League quarter-final clash with Real Madrid will be special for him. In 2014, the Italian led the "royal" club to the coveted La Decima - the tenth strongest European tournament title. Now, the 57-year-old specialist aims to become the strongest in the Old Continent with Bayern, who after a few unsuccessful years are really hungry for victories. "The match against Real Madrid will be special for me. Playing against them will be an exciting experience," Ancelotti said at a press conference. "We have a lot of confidence in our abilities and we want to win the Champions League this season." "I believe we are capable of beating Real Madrid. However, they have a fantastic team and a fantastic coach." The first leg of this tie will take place on April 12th.
