Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti used his 2005 Champions League nightmare to lift his players’ spirits after their 2-2 draw with Newcastle. The Italian manager reminded them of how he lost the 2005 Champions League final to Liverpool when he coached AC Milan even though the Serie A giants led 3-0. Ancelotti said: “The players are really sad for this moment. I said to them I lost the Champions League final after winning 3-0, these things happen." Liverpool completed the greatest comeback in the history of the Champions League final against an impeccable Milan side 15 years ago.
