Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti labels Champions League final with Liverpool a 'DERBY' following two-year spell with enemies Everton... but expects Paris showdown to be 'very even' after Man City heroics

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti is preparing for 'a derby' against Liverpool in the Champions League final after his time at Everton.

The Italian spent two seasons with the Toffees, guiding them to two mid-table finishes before leaving for Real Madrid last summer. Everton are now in a relegation battle in their first season without him.

Two late goals from Rodrygo and a Karim Benzema penalty in extra-time saw Ancelotti's Real knock Manchester City out of the Champions League on Wednesday night, setting up a final with Everton's arch-rivals Liverpool.
