(Dan Tri Newspaper) - Goals from Valverde and Mbappe helped Real Madrid win 2-0 against Atalanta in the European Super Cup in Warsaw (Poland) on the morning of August 15th.
Last season, Real Madrid won the UEFA Champions League while Atalanta triumphed in the UEFA Europa League. These two teams faced each other in Warsaw (Poland) in the European Super Cup, vying for a title before the new season. All eyes were on Mbappe, as the French star made his first start for Real Madrid. Real Madrid pressed relentlessly, but they were met with a tight Atalanta defense.

For the first 30 minutes, Real Madrid had almost no significant chances as Atalanta's defense played very tightly. Mbappe had very few opportunities to touch the ball and combine with his teammates. With Mbappe tightly marked, Vinicius played impressively. In the 34th minute, Vinicius broke through the center and passed the ball across to Bellingham, whose shot went over the crossbar. Towards the end of the first half, Vinicius played a perfect through ball to Rodrigo, but the striker shot wide. In the second half, Real Madrid pressed hard and they paid off in the 59th minute. Vinicius dribbled down the left wing, cut inside to the byline, and crossed the ball to Valverde, who tapped it into an empty net to open the scoring 1-0 for Real Madrid. Continuing their momentum, in the 68th minute, Real Madrid launched a quick attack, and Jude Bellingham played a perfect back pass for Kylian Mbappe to finish into the top corner, increasing the score to 2-0 for the reigning Champions League champions.

For the remainder of the match, despite their best efforts, Atalanta could not score a consolation goal. Real Madrid secured a 2-0 victory and won the 2024 European Super Cup. Kylian Mbappé left the field in the 83rd minute, making an impressive debut for Real Madrid. Coach Ancelotti's team will begin their La Liga campaign with an away match against Mallorca on August 19th. After the match, Bellingham was voted Man of the Match despite not scoring. This is Real Madrid's sixth European Super Cup title, surpassing the achievements of Barcelona and AC Milan.
