Overview

  • German outlets WELT and Sport Bild published passages on September 24 from Carlo Ancelotti’s forthcoming biography, Der Traum: Wie man die Champions League gewinnt, due out October 1 from C. Bertelsmann.
  • Ancelotti calls his 2017 exit from Bayern the most ruthless dismissal of his career after a 0:3 defeat to Paris Saint‑Germain, which he notes was the club’s heaviest Champions League loss in 21 years.
  • He writes that Bayern finished the Bundesliga season 15 points clear yet the dominance was treated as merely the minimum expected.
  • His account describes opaque power dynamics at a club led by shareholders and influential former players, including a midseason presidency change to Uli Hoeneß.
  • He recounts being told to read a five‑point discipline list to players, says he distanced himself from it, quotes Karl‑Heinz Rummenigge saying performances fell short, and notes Bayern later reached the Champions League semi‑finals before losing to Real Madrid.
