Speaking ahead of the game on Friday night, Ancelotti said: "I'm not going to tell the players to play badly tomorrow because of course we want to give our best but anything can happen in a final. We have to be ready for everything. We've had time to prepare well for it, I think we head into it in very good shape.
"We're going to give our best, of course, but I'm not convinced that is enough to win it. That will give us a better chance if we play better. As for whether that's enough, I don't know because there are things you can't control in football.
"It's my fifth final and there's always a similar feeling in the build-up. It's always fantastic to be involved and you have to enjoy it without thinking too much about what might happen. We have to enjoy it until the referee blows the whistle. Then it will be another story that will be written."
