Ancelotti can be seen telling his players: “What we have done up until now is honestly not important right now.

“So tomorrow, you have to get used to it. You’re all here and you have to enjoy the most important game in football. It is going to be beautiful, but it will be difficult.

“Tomorrow the final is going to be like a party. And after the game, we are all going to be happy.

“So that is everything I’ve got to say.”
