Ancelotti breaks 45-year-old La Liga record

Carlo Ancelotti became the first La Liga manager to register a 40-game unbeaten streak and broke a 45-year-old record established by former Real Sociedad boss Alberto Ormaetxea.

Ancelotti broke the La Liga record with an undefeated 40 games in a row.

In a heated game, Ancelotti’s Real Madrid side was held 1-1 at rivals Atletico Madrid. The hard-fought draw marked the 40th game that the Italian tactician and his side, Los Blancos, have gone through without a defeat.

The Italian beat former Real Sociedad boss Alberto Ormaetxea in this stat. The latter managed the Basque side from the 1970s to the 1980s.

The last time Real Madrid lost a league match was in September 2023 when Atletico Madrid beat them 3-1 at the Civitas Metropolitano.

Don Ance can extend the record as the reigning league champions will take on Villarreal at home, Celta Vigo away, Barcelona at home, and Valencia away.

Ancelotti’s record at the Champions League

Ance is a man of records, having won numerous titles during his decorated career. In June, Ancelotti extended his record as the most successful coach in European Cup history to five titles when he led Real Madrid to victory at Wembley against Dortmund.

Is he the most prolific European Cup-winning coach? Yes, he certainly is.

Carlo Ancelotti’s past UEFA titles: AC Milan 2003, 2007; Real Madrid 2014, 2022, 2024

A two-time winner with Milan as a cultured midfield general, Ancelotti seamlessly transitioned to coaching. He led the Rossoneri to victory in 2003 (vs Juventus) and 2007 (vs Liverpool), and it took the 2005 Miracle of Istanbul to deny him another. An extra-time triumph over Atlético de Madrid in 2014 took him to three titles, and in 2022 he became the first coach to lead sides in five finals, and the first to record four wins. Two years on, he extended both records, according to stats from UEFA.
