Kylian Mbappé Shines on Real Madrid Debut with Goal in UEFA Super Cup Win

Posted : 15 August 2024

Kylian Mbappé made a memorable debut for Real Madrid by scoring in their 2-0 victory over Atalanta in the UEFA Super Cup, held in Warsaw. Despite a quiet first half where Real Madrid struggled to break down Gian Piero Gasperini's well-organized defense, the team came alive after the break. Federico Valverde broke the deadlock by tapping in a pass from Vinícius Júnior, providing the breakthrough Real Madrid needed.

 

As Atalanta's influence waned, Mbappé showcased his finishing prowess, doubling Real Madrid's lead with a stunning strike into the top corner after receiving a precise pass from Jude Bellingham. The Italian side had shown promise early on, with Marten de Roon’s shot hitting the crossbar after deflecting off Eder Militão. Additionally, Real Madrid’s best chance in the first half came when Rodrygo’s effort struck the Atalanta bar.

 

Carlo Ancelotti's tactical adjustments at halftime proved crucial, with Mbappé moving to a left-sided role and Bellingham dropping deeper into midfield. This change allowed Bellingham to influence the game more significantly, as he played a key role in the build-up to the opening goal and created another chance for Vinícius Júnior, only for goalkeeper Juan Musso to make a crucial save.

 

The victory not only secured Real Madrid’s record sixth UEFA Super Cup but also marked Ancelotti’s 14th trophy in his two stints with the club. This triumph puts Real Madrid ahead of AC Milan and Barcelona, both of whom have won the Super Cup five times. Ancelotti’s next challenge will be to integrate his squad effectively and maximize the potential of his attacking players.

 

With additional players like Eduardo Camavinga and David Alaba yet to return from injury, and the promising Endrick still awaiting his opportunity, this performance has set a high bar. Real Madrid’s ability to deliver such a dominant display despite limited preparation signals a formidable challenge to their domestic and European rivals.
