The Champions League starts again and we went to Reggiolo, his hometown. In the places where today’s successes were born. And then, space also for the Milan derby and the Ducati rider
Thirty years ago, on 9 September 1992, Carlo Ancelotti lived his first day as a coach: assistant to Arrigo Sacchi, recently appointed Italian coach. Since then, a succession of successes. He is the only coach to have won the 5 great European championships and to have raised the Champions League 4 times (in addition to the 2 won as a player). Sportweek, on the eve of the new Champions League, went to Reggiolo, in the lower Reggio area, to the origins of the Real coach. It is in those places that today’s successes were born, because there is a thin thread that binds the adult to the child who lives inside.
kick against the house wall

The “child king” of our cover drove the tractor and helped father Giuseppe harvest the wheat. In the evening, even if he was tired, he would catch the ball and kick against the wall of the house until Mom Cecilia called him for dinner. Tenacious, even stubborn, hard worker: there they are, drawn from memories, the qualities that Mr Champions still displays today.

The story of Ancelotti introduces the Special that Sportweek dedicates to the European Cups. A complete guide with all the groups, the calendars, the probable formations, the technical judgments and the protagonists of the Champions, Europa League and Conference League. But Saturday is also the day of the highly anticipated Milan-Inter. For over a century, the Milan derby has been a treasure trove of stories, characters and curiosities: the prizes lost at the racecourse, the hot nights of Skoglund, the threatening letters to Lorenzi, the jokes of Bramieri and the two killers at San Siro. We tell you all the most curious stories of this classic of Italian and world football.
in the world of pecco

The weekend also includes another important appointment in the MotoGP title race. Pecco Bagnaia returns to speed on the Misano circuit where he triumphed a year ago. We entered his world: love for Domitia, a special family, the dachshund, friendship with Rossi and Miller, Juve, shrimp risotto and padel challenges. Curious photos and lots of testimonials to know everything about the Ducati rider.
