Earlier today, Real Madrid clashed with Italian side Atalanta at the Stadion Narodowy in Warsaw, Poland, for the 2024 UEFA Super Cup title.
Ahead of the tie, most football enthusiasts predicted that the Italian side who defeated unbeaten German Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen to win the Europa League could do the same against the Spanish giants. However, coach Carlo Ancelotti and his star-studded side proved too good for Atalanta.
The spot-light was on Kylian Mbappe who completed his free transfer to his dream club this summer from Paris Saint Germain. The 25-year-old French striker shared the spot-light with Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman, who scored a hat-trick to win the Europa League for Atalanta last season.
As expected, Mbappe shone brighter by playing a vital role in ensuring that Champions League-winning teams extend their superiority over Europa League-winning teams in the UEFA Super Cup to 29 wins, a nine-win difference.
After both sides played a goalless draw in the first half, Federico Valverde scored the match opener in the 59th-minute courtesy of Vinicius Junior’s assist. Nine minutes later, Kylian Mbappe took full advantage of Jude Bellingham’s assist to seal a 2-0 victory for Real Madrid.
That won Mbappe his first UEFA Super Cup and kick-started his reign at Real Madrid on a very high note.
