Ancelotti paid tribute to his players after they not only avenged their heart-breaking penalty shootout defeat to Liverpool in the 2005 final, but also showed their depths of recovery after becoming embroiled in last year's Italian match-fixing scandal — which briefly threatened their place in this year's competition until UEFA gave them the green light to enter.
