Kylian Mbappe made a spectacular debut for Real Madrid, scoring a goal that helped secure a 2-0 victory over Atalanta in the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday in Warsaw. This win marks Real Madrid’s record sixth title in the competition.
The match began with a tightly contested first half, where neither team found the back of the net. However, the tide turned in the second half when Fede Valverde opened the scoring for Madrid in the 59th minute with a close-range effort. Just nine minutes later, Mbappe showcased his talent by scoring a stunning goal, following a well-timed pass from Jude Bellingham that allowed him to break into the box.
Mbappe, who joined Real Madrid this summer after leaving Paris Saint-Germain, expressed his joy, stating, “It was a great night, I’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time.” He emphasized the significance of winning a trophy in his first match, highlighting the expectations that come with playing for such a prestigious club.
With this victory, coach Carlo Ancelotti tied the record for the most titles won as a manager of Real Madrid, matching the legendary Miguel Munoz with 14 trophies. Looking ahead, Ancelotti aims to optimize his squad’s attacking potential, with Mbappe expected to play a crucial role in the team’s strategy this season.
