Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti hasn't forgotten his Everton ties as he prepares for a Champions League final against Liverpool.

Ancelotti had over 18 months in charge of Everton before leaving for Real last summer.

After last night's semifinal win against Manchester City, the Italian said: "I sit with a feeling of enormous joy that we have made it to the final.

"And again, it's against Liverpool. This is the third time I face them in a Champions League final as a coach.

"I have lived in Liverpool for two years and it will be like a derby for me."
