Real Madrid, with the addition of Kylian Mbappe, will aim for their 6th European Super Cup title when they face Atalanta in Warsaw at 2:00 a.m. on August 15 (Vietnam time).

Mbappe is ready to take the field to conquer the title with Real Madrid

Real Madrid enter the Super Cup match in excellent form since the end of last season. They have not lost any of their last 26 official matches (W17, D9).

Since the victory over Dortmund in the Champions League final, the Royal team's strength has been further enhanced with two quality rookies Endrick and Mbappe.

The French star will debut his new shirt in today's match. Mbappe is full of confidence and excitement, because he is a man for big matches like this.

Kylian Mbappe has scored eight goals in his last 11 finals for club and country, most notably a hat-trick in the 2022 World Cup final.

Another factor that often explodes in the top matches is Vinicius. The Brazilian star directly participated in 10 goals in 10 finals with Real Madrid (7 goals, 3 assists).

As for Atalanta, they created one surprise after another on their journey to winning the 2023/24 Europa League.

Overcoming the mighty Liverpool, defeating Leverkusen 3-0 in high form in the final is an unprecedented achievement in the history of the Bergamo team.

Preparing for the new season, coach Gasperini still kept the old squad. Besides, they added Italian striker - Mateo Retegui from Genoa for a record fee of 56 million Euros.

In the past, Atalanta faced Los Blancos twice in the group stage of the 2020 Champions League. The Serie A representative both suffered defeats (0-1 and 1-3).

Atalanta enjoyed resounding success in the Europa League last season

In this match on Polish soil, coach Gasperini's team received a lot of respect from their opponents.

However, Real Madrid's incredible attacking firepower could make the difference, with the trio of Mbappe - Vinicius - Bellingham always ready to "open fire".

Forecast:Real Madrid won 3-2
