Andriy Shevchenko is one of the most prolific goalscorers to have graced the game, especially in the 2000s.

An AC Milan legend, the Ukrainian scored 103 of his 175 goals for the Rossoneri under Carlo Ancelotti. To put that number into perspective, the 45-year-old scored 165 times under ten different managers combined.

A quintessential goal poacher during his playing days, Shevchenko played a key role in Milan 2003-04 Serie A triumph, scoring 24 times. That was his second Capocannoniere award in four years.

Shevchenko once said about Ancelotti:

"Carlo has won as many European Cups as Sir Alex Ferguson, and when you consider he has only been managing at European Cup level for 10 years, that is quite amazing."

He had added:

"In the time he has been at Milan, he has been in three finals and won two. No matter how good a manager you are, if you have never played in a European Cup Final you don't know what that feeling in your stomach is like before you walk out. Carlo does, and I think that's what sets him apart."

#2 Cristiano Ronaldo - 112 goals

Cristiano Ronaldo is arguably one of the greatest players in the history of the beautiful game.

The all-time Real Madrid top scorer scored a staggering 450 times across competitions during his nearly decade-long stint at the Santiago Bernabeu in the last decade. That tally includes a staggering 112 strikes (and 47 assists) in just two seasons under Carlo Ancelotti.

Ronaldo was at the peak of his powers under the Italian, netting 79 league goals in 65 games and 27 in 23 Champions League outings. That includes a record 17 strikes in Real Madrid's historic 2013-14 La Decima campaign. Ronaldo netted a stunning 48 times in the 2014-15 La Liga, only for Barcelona to beat Los Blancos to the title by two points.

The acclaimed tactician once said about Ronaldo:

"There are a lot of good players, and Cristiano is in another category."

#1 Filippo Inzaghi - 161 goals

Nobody scored more goals under Ancelotti than Filippo Inzaghi (right).

Filippo Inzaghi is the most prolific goalscorer to have played under Carlo Ancelotti. The former Italy international netted 161 of his 288 career club goals under Don Carlo. Most of those strikes came during the pair's near-eight-year association at AC Milan.

The current Brescia manager netted 14 times across Milan's two Champions League-winning campaigns in 2003-04 and 2006-07 under Ancelotti. That includes both strikes in the 2007 final win against Liverpool. The pair also won the Serie A title together (2003-04), but Inzaghi's contribution was limited that season.

Carlo Ancelotti once said about Inzaghi during the latter years of their association:

"I've been working with Inzaghi for 10 years; I can't stand the sight of him anymore! It's great to see him play like this and he may be 36, but he has the enthusiasm of a kid and that is his secret."
