• Real Madrid win the Super Cup and their first trophy of the season
• Kylian Mbappé played his first game in his new jersey
• He scored on his debut, then showed his enthusiasm

Real Madrid and Atalanta have played their first competitive match of the new season. The first match was in the UEFA Super Cup. While the Spanish giant dominated the Champions League last season, the Italian side went on to win the Europa League.

The Spanish champion was, of course, the big favourite. If only because of the star-studded squad. Atalanta fans can only dream of such players in their squad. In addition, Los Blancos were reinforced by the star Kylian Mbappé in the summer.

However, the Frenchman has not had the best season. Especially at the Euros, his performances were far below expectations. He didn’t play a single game for his new club in preparation. However, against the Italian team he was in the starting line-up and showed himself in a very good light.

Real Madrid won 2: 0. The first goal was scored by Federico Valverde, but it was Mbappé who scored the second. The former PSG star scored on his debut and also won the first European club trophy of his career. It couldn’t have gone better.

Mbappé’s dream come true

“A magical night. I’ve always dreamed of something like this and now it’s a reality. To play for this club, the best club in the world, is something crazy. I’m really excited to make my debut. Plus, we won the trophy. It’s very important because everyone here wants to win. And to score a goal? That was a huge honor for me. I hope to help the team as much as I can this season,” the star forward told CBS Sports.

Mbappé has played with the likes of Vinícius Jr. and Jude Bellingham. “It’s easy to play with them, they are fantastic footballers. All the players in the team are excellent. This is Real Madrid and this is why it is the best club in the world. They are the best players. It’s a huge honour to be among them,” he added.

Real Madrid will then face the opening round of La Liga this weekend. As part of it, they will travel to Mallorca’s ground on Sunday.
