Paul Clement believes keeping Swansea in the Premier League will be a bigger achievement than getting his hands on the Champions League trophy.
Clement was Carlo Ancelotti's assistant at Real Madrid when the Spanish giants claimed their 10th European Cup in 2014 by beating city rivals Atletico.
But the 45-year-old - who was also Ancelotti's number two when Chelsea won the Premier League and FA Cup double in 2010 - says keeping Swansea in the top flight would be the highlight of his career.
Swansea were bottom of the Premier League with only 12 points from 19 games when Clement was appointed at the start of January.
