Gala against Monaco: Ancelotti returns and Real are back on song | OneFootball

The royal house blessing was quite skewed at Real Madrid recently. Defeats against Barça in the Supercopa and a cup exit against Albacete. Plus, the dismissal of Xabi Alonso. A truly convincing performance in the Champions League comes just at the right time. Could it be due to a distinguished fan?

Carlo Ancelotti was present today at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu. Before his eyes, Kylian Mbappé scored a brace once again. 

The Frenchman now has eleven goals in six matches. Depending on how far Real goes in the CL campaign, Cristiano Ronaldo's record of 17 goals in a CL season could even be in jeopardy. 

Ancelotti seems to be a lucky charm. No wonder, with all the successes the club has celebrated under him.
