Mbappe scores on Madrid debut, wins UEFA Super Cup

A goal and a trophy. How about that for a debut by Kylian Mbappe for Real Madrid?

The France captain pulled on the famous white jersey of the Spanish champions for the first time in a competitive match and marked the occasion with the second goal in a 2-0 win over Atalanta in the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday.

Mbappe, who started and played 82 minutes at the National Stadium in Warsaw, met a pass from Jude Bellingham across the area with a shot into the top corner in the 68th minute.

After putting both arms across his chest for his trademark celebration, he was congratulated by Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo, the other members of Madrid’s star-studded strike force that might be sending tremors around ********* soccer heading into the new season.

Federico Valverde tapped home a cross from Vinicius in the 59th to set Madrid on their way to a record sixth victory in the Super Cup, the annual match between the Champions League winners (Madrid) and the Europa League champions (Atalanta).

Madrid are used to holding records – no team has more ********* Cup titles than their 15 – and owning the world’s best players.

Mbappe certainly belongs in that category and it was a strong start to life at the world’s top soccer club, one he dreamt of playing for as a ****.

Now he is Madrid’s No.9, starting the Super Cup as the team’s central striker — to limited success — before moving out wide for the second half.

Vinicius and Bellingham, stars of Madrid’s run to the Champions League and La Liga titles in Spain last season, were the game’s standout players, however, as Carlo Ancelotti’s team eventually overpowered Serie A club Atalanta after an even first half that saw both sides hit the crossbar.

Madrid defender Eder Militao deflected a cross onto his own bar before Rodrygo fired in a shot just before halftime that struck the top of the woodwork.

Madrid were dominant after the break, but it might take a while for Ancelotti to find the ideal formula up front — Brazil striker Endrick, a summer signing like Mbappe, didn’t even come off the bench for the match — but it’s an enviable dilemma for the Italian coach.
