WELCOME TO TREMBLY

Real are 14-time winners but Ancelotti believes Bellingham and Co will still be gripped by fear

CARLO ANCELOTTI has warned Real Madrid will be gripped by fear at Wembley tonight – despite all of their Champions League success.

They are red-hot favourites to beat Borussia Dortmund and are hoping to lift their 15th European Cup in London.

The Bernabeu giants are already the most successful club in Euro history and Ancelotti is the most successful manager, having lifted the trophy four times as coach and twice as a player.

But despite that stunning track record of European glory, Ancelotti insists it will be a “dangerous” game because Borussia Dortmund have already caused upsets on the way to the final.

The Real Madrid boss said on the eve of the final: “There is a fear, a concern out of that. It is a feeling we all have inside.

“A final is a final. A Champions League final is the most important game and the most dangerous one.

“It is a double-edged sword, we need to enjoy it to the maximum and then concern starts that it could go wrong because we are so close to the most important thing in football, which is winning a Champions League.

"We have extreme happiness but you have to be a bit lucky, play well and never lower your guard.
