Kylian Mbappé made a sensational debut for Real Madrid, scoring in a 2-0 victory over Atalanta to secure the UEFA Super Cup at the National Stadium in Warsaw. The France captain, wearing the iconic white jersey of Real Madrid for the first time in a competitive match, netted the second goal in the 68th minute, capping off an impressive start to his career with the Spanish giants.
Mbappé, who played 82 minutes, connected with a precise pass from Jude Bellingham and fired a shot into the top corner, showcasing his trademark precision and flair. “He is inevitable,” said Bellingham, praising his new teammate. Mbappé’s goal was celebrated with his signature pose, joined by Vinícius Júnior and Rodrygo, hinting at the formidable attacking trio that Real Madrid will field this season.
Federico Valverde opened the scoring in the 59th minute, tapping in a cross from Vinícius, as Real Madrid claimed their record sixth Super Cup title. The match, which brought together the Champions League winners (Madrid) and Europa League champions (Atalanta), saw both teams initially struggle to find the net, with close chances on either side, including a deflected shot by Madrid’s Eder Militao that hit the crossbar.
Real Madrid’s manager, Carlo Ancelotti, expressed confidence in his team’s potential, noting the challenge of finding the perfect balance with such a talented squad. The victory is a promising start for a revamped Madrid side, with Mbappé already proving his worth as the club’s new No. 9.
Mbappé’s arrival at Madrid, following his highly anticipated move from Paris Saint-Germain, has added another layer of star power to the club. His debut, marked by a goal and a trophy, signals the beginning of what could be a dominant era for the Spanish champions.
