The Italian's four visits to the 'Azulgranas' amphitheatre as a manager have yielded two defeats and two draws, and in the latter instances both counted for nothing as they spelled elimination from the Champions League.
Ancelotti's maiden experience in the Camp Nou dugout was in 2004, when his Milan team fell 2-1 during the Champions League group stage.
The 'Rossoneri' faced the Catalan giants once again in the semi-finals of the same competition in April 2006. Trailing 1-0 from the first leg, they could only manage a goalless draw which denied them a place in the final.
Carletto's third Camp Nou heartbreak came a round earlier in 2013, this time with PSG. A 2-2 draw in Paris was followed by a 1-1 stalemate in Barcelona, so Tito Vilanova's side progressed to the semis on away goals.
With last season's La Liga visit with Real Madrid ending in a 2-1 loss, will it be fifth time lucky for Ancelotti on Barça territory?
