Kylian Mbappé marked his much-anticipated Real Madrid debut in style, scoring a decisive goal as Los Blancos claimed a record-breaking sixth UEFA Super Cup title with a 2-0 victory over Atalanta in Warsaw. The win, which adds yet another trophy to Real Madrid's illustrious history, underscores their dominance on the European stage.
The reigning European champions lined up with a star-studded attack featuring Mbappé, Jude Bellingham, and Vinícius Jr., a trio that immediately put the Atalanta defense under pressure. Despite Real Madrid’s early advances, the Italian side, making their first-ever appearance in the Super Cup, held their own and even threatened to take the lead in the first half, with Marten de Roon’s cross narrowly deflected onto the bar by Éder Militão.
Atalanta continued to test Real Madrid’s resolve, but a crucial save from Thibaut Courtois kept the match level early in the second half. The breakthrough came when Vinícius Jr., showcasing his trademark dribbling, set up Federico Valverde for a tap-in. Moments later, Mbappé sealed the victory with a stunning strike into the top corner, following a well-placed assist from Bellingham.

Carlo Ancelotti, celebrating his fifth Super Cup triumph as a coach—an all-time record—introduced Luka Modrić late in the game to ensure Madrid maintained control and secured the win. The victory not only cements Real Madrid's place at the pinnacle of European football but also highlights Mbappé's immediate impact, setting the stage for what promises to be an exciting season ahead.
