Real Madrid Clinch Record-Extending Sixth Super Cup Title in Warsaw
Real Madrid have made history by securing a record-breaking sixth UEFA Super Cup title, defeating Atalanta 2-0 in Warsaw.
The victory propels Los Blancos ahead of Barcelona and AC Milan, who have both won the competition five times.
Fede Valverde broke the deadlock in the 59th minute before Kylian Mbappé, making his competitive debut for the club, doubled the lead nine minutes later.
The French superstar’s goal was set up by Jude Bellingham following a defensive error by Atalanta.
Carlo Ancelotti has now won the Super Cup a record five times as a manager, solidifying his status as one of the greatest coaches in the game.
Mbappé’s goal marks the start of what is expected to be a prolific spell for the French forward at Real Madrid after arriving from Paris St. Germain on a free transfer this summer.
After helping his new team to their first silverware of the season, the former Paris Saint-Germain star will be hoping to add to his trophy cabinet as he seeks to establish himself as one of the greatest players of all time.
