Real Madrid, with Mbappé leading the way, wins the UEFA Super Cup
Real Madrid are the new UEFA Super Cup champions after beating Atalanta 2-0! Federico Valverde opened the scoring, and then the star of the show, Kylian Mbappé, sealed the deal with a stunning debut goal, earning him the MVP of the match.
This is how Real Madrid kicks off the new season with a trophy in their very first game, showing off their firepower with the most lethal attacking trio in the world—Rodrygo, Vinicius, and Mbappé!
The first half was a nail-biter, with Atalanta hitting the crossbar after a deflection off Éder Militao’s head, and then Rodrygo responding with a shot that also rattled the bar in added time. But everything changed in the second half, thanks to a brilliant save by Thibaut Courtois.
Vinícius turned the game around with a killer play, setting up Fede Valverde for a goal in the 59th minute. Then, Mbappé stepped up and, with his first shot on target, smashed the ball into the top corner, sealing the deal at 68 minutes. Carlo Ancelotti’s team has now secured the first of seven possible titles this season.
