Antonio Rüdiger recently spoke with Sport1 and shared an anecdote about Ancelotti's visit the day before his presentation as a new Real Madrid player.

"I was only a few hours with my family in our new house, we were having a barbecue, until suddenly the doorbell rang. I opened it and in front of me was just Carlo Ancelotti. An incredible moment! Then he sat down with us at the table, we ate with him and he met my family. Pretty normal, down to earth. He was there for two hours, we talked about everything. I'll be honest, I've never experienced anything like this, no coach has ever done anything like that for me.

"After a few months with him, I have to say that when it comes to dealing with the players, Ancelotti is untouchable. Don Carlo, a coaching legend, already collected Champions League titles when I was a kid. Working with him now on a daily basis and at the most successful club in the world is wonderful," revealed Rüdiger.
