CARLO ANCELOTTI showed he can match his record-breaking Real Madrid heroes for moves on the pitch as she shared a spectacular victory dance.
The Italian, 64, celebrated Real’s historic 15th Champions League final win with as much energy as his team had needed to keep out unlucky Borussia Dortmund.

Ancelotti orchestrated his players’ triumphant jig around the trophy in the Wembley centre circle.
The former Chelsea chief won the European Cup twice in a row with AC Milan before returning to the San Siro to win the Champions League twice – a feat he has now managed on three further occasions with Real.
And after a 2-0 defeat of Dortmund he looked and sounded as fresh as ever.
The ex-Everton, Bayern Munich and PSG manager wore a huge smile as he swung his arms up and down just as wildly as his jubilant squad.
Jude Bellingham and Co then flung him aloft before he embraced Real legend Zinedine Zidane.
It’s not the first time Ancelotti has rejoiced with such animation – with a cigar also part of his triumphant routine.
And he revealed it won’t be the last time he gyrates to hail this year’s triumph.
Asked how he will mark his latest landmark, Ancelotti said: “A cigar. And Cibeles. Tomorrow cigar, glasses, singing, dancing, we’ll do everything.”

Dortmund wasted clear chances amid first-half domination before Dani Carvajal’s glancing header on 76 minutes and a fine Vinicius Jr finish from a Bellingham through-pass killed off the Germans.
It completes a LaLiga and Champions League double for England midfielder Bellingham in his all-conquering first season with the Spanish giants.
And it took Luka Modric, Dani Carvajal, Nacho and Toni Kroos – in his final game before retiring – to an unmatched six successes in Europe’s top cup competition.
Ancelotti said: “You can never get used to this, because it was difficult, more than expected.
“We suffered a lot in the first half, in the second half we were better, we had fewer losses. This is a dream that continues.”
Meanwhile, fans watching his victory dance reckon it’s a sign of a perfect bond with his players.
One viewer said: “Every footballer dreams of having a coach like Carlo. In every level.”
Another reckoned his response was a “reflection of leadership, flexibility and composure on and off the pitch. These qualities are crucial for success both in football and in other areas of life”.
And a third put Ancelotti’s antics down to his experience as the most prolific Champions League-winning boss ever.
He wrote: “Well He’s been practicing for a while now hasn’t he?”
