Carlo Ancelotti won't forget the day he coached his 1000th match as a coach, since it gave him the chance to achieve his biggest career win.
The Italian boss was all smiles after Bayern destroyed Hamburg 8-0 at Allianz Arena, cementing their place as Bundesliga leaders. Before the game began, "Carletto" was offered an homage by Bayern's exec, Karl Heinz Rummenigge. Fans joined from the stands with a round of applause.
