Kylian Mbappe joined Real Madrid from Paris St-Germain in July
Kylian Mbappe scored on his Real Madrid debut as they beat Atalanta to claim a record sixth Uefa Super Cup in Warsaw. The French forward, 25, was barely involved during the first period as Real struggled to find their rhythm against Gian Piero Gasperini's well-drilled side. However, Real were transformed after the break and Federico Valverde tapped in Vinicius Jr's pass to open the scoring. As Atalanta began to fade Mbappe doubled Real's lead, accelerating onto Jude Bellingham's pass before dispatching an effort into the top corner. Atalanta had started the contest as the brighter team with Marten de Roon's effort ricocheting off Eder Militao and striking the Real crossbar.
