Ancelotti addressed several topics after the game and here's the transcript from his press-conference (quotes taken from Mundo Deportivo):
Q: On becoming the most successful manager in Real Madrid history
Ancelotti: It's a very nice and important moment for me. It's an honour for me. Madrid is the club that all coaches want to coach because it's the best club in the world.
Q: Whether it's easier or more difficult to win at Real Madrid
Ancelotti: It's easier than winning them elsewhere because you have a great team and great fans, but it's not easy.
Q: On his expectations when he returned to Real Madrid
Ancelotti: When I came back I didn't imagine what was going to happen. I called Jose Angel Sanchez to see if I could sign some players and, sure enough, they fell right into the trap.

Q: On his personal status
Ancelotti: At this stage of the season I was a bit nervous because I didn't like the team, honestly, but this will change in 2025, I'm sure.
Q: On the team's status
Ancelotti: It's important for us to get through to Christmas alive. If we think about the team after the defeat against Milan, I think the team has grown a lot and it gives us confidence for 2025.
Q: On Vinicius Jr
Ancelotti: Vinicius trains until Friday and on Saturday he goes on holiday and returns on the 30th like all his teammates to prepare for the match against Valencia.
