Kylian Mbappe made an impactful debut for Real Madrid, scoring as they defeated Atalanta 2-0 to clinch a record sixth UEFA Super Cup in Warsaw.
The 25-year-old French forward, who had a quiet first half, came alive after the break. Real Madrid initially struggled to find their rhythm against a disciplined Atalanta side, with the Italian team’s Marten de Roon nearly scoring when his shot deflected off Eder Militao and hit the crossbar.
Real Madrid’s fortunes changed in the second half when Federico Valverde tapped in a pass from Vinicius Jr. to break the deadlock. As Atalanta began to tire, Kylian Mbappe showcased his class by racing onto a precise pass from Jude Bellingham and slotting the ball into the top corner, doubling Real’s lead.
Atalanta had started strong, with Real’s best first-half effort coming from Rodrygo, who hit the crossbar just before halftime. But under the guidance of Carlo Ancelotti, Real Madrid shifted into a higher gear after the interval. By the time Mbappé was substituted late in the match, the Champions League holders had firmly asserted their dominance, comfortably securing victory over the Europa League champions.
Mbappé’s debut goal and Real Madrid’s Super Cup triumph mark a promising start to the season, reinforcing their status as one of Europe’s elite football clubs.
