Real Madrid vs Atalanta in UEFA Super Cup

The European football season is kicking off with a thrilling match between Real Madrid and Atalanta in the UEFA Super Cup 2024. This encounter will take place at the National Stadium in Warsaw, Poland, and fans are buzzing with excitement.

Real Madrid, the current Champions League winners, are looking to notch their sixth UEFA Super Cup title. Kylian Mbappé, considered one of the best forwards worldwide, is set to make his debut for the club. Additionally, the young Brazilian striker Endrick Felipe might also see his first action.

Real Madrid claimed their 15th UEFA Champions League title by defeating Borussia Dortmund 2-0 last June. However, their pre-Super Cup form hasn’t been the best, as they’ve won only one out of three friendlies in the lead-up to this crucial match.

On the other hand, Atalanta arrives as the Europa League champions, having secured their first title after besting Bayer Leverkusen 3-0 in May. Despite their recent triumph, they’ve struggled in their friendlies, managing only a draw against one win and three losses.

Historically, Real Madrid holds an advantage in their past meetings, having won both encounters against Atalanta in the Champions League round of 16 back in 2021. They would love to extend that record and become the first club to secure six Super Cups.

The match will also showcase new exciting combinations on the field. Vinícius Júnior, who performed excellently in the Champions League, is eager to hit the net again alongside Mbappé.

Atalanta, under coach Gian Piero Gasperini, is hoping to channel their recent successes and overcome their injuries. Their aim is to make history as the first Italian team to win the Super Cup since 2007.
