Kylian Mbappe has the potential to go crazy in his debut match with Real Madrid. The moment occurred when Real Madrid met Atalanta in the 2024 European Super Cup which was held at the National Stadium, Warsaw, Poland on Thursday, August 15, 2024.
It is not impossible that the 25-year-old footballer immediately scored a hattrick, something he usually does with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). The French national team captain also has experience facing Atalanta.
The moment occurred in the quarter-finals of the 2019-2020 Champions League. Playing in a neutral venue due to the Covid-19 situation, Les Parisiens -PSG’s nickname- won 2-1 and Kylian Mbappe scored an assist in the match.
Kylian Mbappe’s role is very much needed by Real Madrid this season. Not only to win the 2024 European Super Cup trophy, but also to defend the Spanish League and Champions League titles.
Not only that, Los Blancos -Real Madrid’s nickname- are also hunting for their first treble winner in history, namely pairing the Spanish League, Champions League and Copa del Rey trophies in the same season.
Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti can’t wait to see Kylian Mbappe in action. He ensured that the former AS Monaco striker was ready and available for the match against La Dea -Atalanta’s nickname.
“Mbappe came to this squad in good condition. We didn’t have enough preparation, but all the players are in good condition,” said Carlo Ancelotti.
Kylian Mbappe’s presence also increased Carlo Ancelotti’s confidence in winning the 2024 European Super Cup trophy early this morning. If that happens, Real Madrid will be the club with the most European Super Cup titles with six trophies, one title ahead of Barcelona in second place.
“There is a lot of responsibility to win this title. Luckily, we have the best players,” concluded Carlo Ancelotti.
