Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has said the Champions League win last season signaled the start of a new era for the club and he wants to see the team push on this year.

Los Blancos ended their 12-year wait for La Decima – the 10th Champions League win. They also secured the Copa del Rey title in April, seeing off Barcelona in Valencia, with Gareth Bale scoring a sensational solo goal.

Speaking at the UCLA campus in the USA, where the club is currently on a two-week tour, Ancelotti told reporters the Decima was the launchpad for more success.

“The 10th Champions League was very important for us. I think La Decima was the beginning of an era. We have the desire to continue winning titles, more competitions, and the squad is competitive. We’re all raring to go,” he said.

Ancelotti also expressed his delight at the recent signings of Toni Kroos and James Rodriguez, saying the club moved quickly in the transfer market to make an already strong squad even more competitive.

He stated: “This year we have the advantage that we have very important work already done. There are now more signings and I think we can start better. I’m very optimistic.”

Ancelotti added: “The club is doing a good job; we have signed some very important players who will improve the team a lot; we have a very competitive group.”
