The holders find themselves picking up the pieces after Arsenal surgically dispatched them with a 5-1 aggregate triumph on Wednesday and now it is Ancelotti who needs a miracle comeback to survive in his post. The Gunners reached the final four with a 2-1 away win and will face Mbappe’s former side Paris Saint-Germain, soaring without the French superstar, who left in search of European silverware with the record 15-time winners.

The Italian’s team is deeply flawed this season, a far more fragile outfit than the side which powered to a Champions League and La Liga double last season. To put the defeat into context, this will be the
