The captain of the French team scored his first goal for his new club after the hour mark.
A final for his first match for Real Madrid, Kylian Mbappé started off in the thick of things, right from the start with the European Super Cup against Atalanta Bergamo, winner of the Europa League. The French superstar, expected to make a breakthrough after his high-profile departure from PSG and a missed Euro, has unblocked his counter after only an hour of play in the "merengue" jersey.

While Federico Valverde had opened the scoring in the 59th minute, after a great job from Vinicius (1-0), "Kyky" took advantage of a pass from Jude Bellingham, who was back to pierce the net of Atalanta Bergamo, with a beautiful strike from the right, making the Madrid supporters explode with joy (2-0, 69th).
Number 9 on his back, Mbappé gave up his place on the field to Brahim Diaz in the 83rd minute, to the ovation of the Stadion Narodowy in Warsaw.
