After Jude Bellingham's ball, Kylian Mbappe scored towards the top corner during the 68th minute to give Madrid a 2-0 lead over Atalanta in Wednesday's UEFA Super Cup match. Vinicius Jr. was spotted copying Kylian Mbappe's celebration after the goal, and it turned into a nice moment between the deadly attacking pair. The Spanish champions' first goal came from Federico Valverde, who was set up brilliantly by Vinicius Jr. 

The main topic of conversation leading up to the game was the highly anticipated arrival of French sensation Kylian Mbappe, who ultimately joined Real Madrid after departing Ligue 1 winners Paris Saint-Germain at the conclusion of the 23–24 campaign. For Carlo Ancelotti's team, Mbappe began the match in attack with Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo, primarily filling the middle of the attacking three.

The UEFA Super Cup final between Real Madrid, the winners of the UEFA Champions League, and Atalanta, the holders of the UEFA Europa League, took place on Wednesday night at the National Stadium in Warsaw. It turned out to be a one sided game as the La Liga giants won comfortably and clinched their sixth UEFA Super Cup title. 

“I have a very big problem” : Carlo Ancelotti on Real Madrid team selection

Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti spoke to the media ahead of their UEFA Super Cup clash against Atalanta. The manager will have a lot of options to choose from throughout the season and he might have to make some tough decisions. 

The former AC Milan manager said that, “I have a very big problem. All summer I have been thinking about who to put in and who not to. It has ruined my holidays. It’s simple. They are all good. This problem doesn’t exist. We have a lot of games. I can’t think that the same eleven will play 70 games. Last year, those who played less contributed a lot. This year could be a key.”
