Carlo Ancelotti invited a Real Madrid wonderkid to lead the celebrations at Real Madrid's Champions League parade.

Los Blancos celebrated their 15th European crown in the Spanish capital following victory over Borussia Dortmund at Wembley on Saturday.

Dani Carvajal and Vinicius Jr scored the goals in the second half to ensure Real and their fans had another parade to enjoy following their La Liga triumph.

The parade saw Real players go to the city cathedral and then at the Puerta del Sol government building and town hall.

They then had a traditional moment at the Plaza de Cibeles foundation and finished at the Santiago Bernabeu where even more fans packed.

Jude Bellingham spoke in Spanish and Toni Kroos thanked fans after his final ever club game was a sixth Champions League triumph.

But Ancelotti also encouraged Real starlet Arda Guler to speak to the supporters after his first season with Los Blancos.

The Italian veteran gave him the microphone and after he gave a brief message, he was given a loud applause while his teammates cheered.

Ancelotti then shared a special embrace with the 19-year-old.

A €20 million arrival from Fenerbahce in the summer, the talented attacking midfielder had an injury-hit first campaign with Real.

He was restricted to just 12 appearances but still managed to score six times - all of his goals coming in 330 minutes of playing time.

He still became the first Turk to win the Champions League and is hopeful of more opportunities going forward even with the arrivals of Kylian Mbappe and Endrick.

“Ancelotti and I talk a lot. Even before I came here. I asked him if he was going to play, where, what my situation would be like," he told Kafa Sports, as per AS.

"And he always told me his plans with me. This was one of the reasons why I came, because he offered me realistic plans.

"He said he’d play me when I was ready. He’s in constant contact with me. Not to tell me that he looks good in training, not to tell me that he looks better at me. He tells me that I will have more opportunities at the end of the league. I believe in him too.”
