Kylian Mbappe finally realized his dream of wearing a Real Madrid shirt with an impressive debut in the European Super Cup against Atalanta. With his first goal and title, the French superstar has started a new chapter in his career in the perfect way.
Kylian Mbappe is about to be a center forward by captain Carlo Ancelotti and is supported by the pair Vinicius Junior - Rodrygo. This trio is allowed to move flexibly on the attack line, creating diversity in playing style and harassing the opponent's defense. This is Mbappe's always-dreamed debut.
Not only Mbappe shined in this victory, the satellites around him also showed their own value. Jude Bellingham was pulled closer to the midfield and the English star completely controlled the game. In addition, Vinicius Jr also contributed significantly with an excellent assist that helped Federico Valverde open the scoring.
However, the match was not really settled until the 68th minute, when Mbappe scored the first goal for Real Madrid. Receiving a pass from Bellingham, Mbappe had a powerful shot that exploded Kazimierz Gorski Stadium. With raised arms and a bright smile, the 25-year-old striker ran to the flagpole and performed a familiar celebration. Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo quickly appeared next to him, creating a beautiful image of Los Blancos' new attacking trio.
I have been waiting for this moment for a long time. Playing for Real Madrid, for this symbol, for these fans is something special. I want more. When you play for Real Madrid, there are no limits" - Kylian Mbappe shared.
There was a question about how Carlo Ancelotti would manage the dressing room with a squad of many big egos like now? However, according to an insider at Valdebebas, the Real Madrid dressing room is in its best condition in many years. The friendly and united images of the players in the match against Atalanta proved that.
Before the match, Ancelotti did not disclose all information about the starting lineup, making fans curious about whether Mbappe will be able to start or not? The excitement was further heightened when the Real Madrid rookie attended the opening training session. He quickly became the center of attention of all lenses and enthusiastic cheers from the stands.
Kylian Mbappe entered the match calmly and confidently as usual. The decisive moment had come, Mbappe scored the decisive goal and left the field in the 83rd minute to the congratulations of the whole team. Captain Ancelotti gave him a warm hug, and his teammates and coaching staff also kept sharing the joy.
When the match ended and Real Madrid won the European Super Cup, Mbappe could not hide his joy. The French captain hugged fitness coach Antonio Pintus, who has helped him maintain his top fitness since joining the "White Vultures".
Mbappe's debut at Real Madrid was truly a dream come true. However, for Mbappe and his teammates, this is just the beginning. The journey ahead is very long and Los Blancos of course have no intention of stopping there.
