Ancelotti's Outburst in Champions Final Leaked, Never Seen: 'How Many...?'
The coach was very clear and concise after Real Madrid's poor first half.
Real Madrid conquered the Fifteenth last season at Wembley against Borussia Dortmund. It was a final where everyone considered Ancelotti's team as the big favorites. However, it had to be in the second half that they managed to secure another Champions.
The first half hadn't been entirely good for the whites and Ancelotti had noticed it. In fact, images of the scolding he gave the team in the locker room during halftime have come to light. A video that shows he was very angry about those 45 minutes.

"We have to be patient, how many balls have we lost? We don't have to take risks" Carlo said. He started his talk calmly, although he seemed annoyed. "The only thing is to be patient and not lose the ball" he repeated, now a bit more vehemently.
"When we lose the ball... counter and counter and counter, it's not possible" he told them about those losses. "Be more forceful and have more confidence" was the final message he conveyed. It seems it worked since Real Madrid improved and ended up winning the final 2-0.
Ancelotti Changed the Game Plan and It Worked After Halftime
Despite the many criticisms Ancelotti receives, the truth is he has made crucial decisions. In the Champions final, it seemed Borussia could score at any moment. But the change he made at halftime allowed them to end up winning the Fifteenth.

"We changed the midfield structure in the second half" he acknowledges about the decision he made. It's true that Carvajal and Vinícius's goals came and sealed everything. But until that moment, after halftime, a better approach from Real Madrid was seen.
Additionally, he also gives a lesson on how to manage a locker room at a moment like that. "It was an idea I wanted to share, I didn't want to impose because the stress was already very high for them" he points out. It seems he was right if we consider that Real Madrid won the Fifteenth.
