Real Madrid vs Atalanta: Preview, predictions and lineups
- Real Madrid take on Atalanta in 2024 UEFA Super Cup
- Champions League winners Madrid are five-time winners of Super Cup
- Kylian Mbappe set to make Madrid debut in Warsaw
The first piece of legitimate 2024/25 silverware is up for grabs on Wednesday night as Real Madrid face Atalanta in the UEFA Super Cup.
Madrid's seemingly perpetual Champions League success means they're familiar with such occasions and are five-time winners of the trophy, but this will be the first time Atalanta have competed in the Super Cup after they secured their maiden European trophy at the back end of 2023/24.
Gian Piero Gasperini's side stunned Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen 3-0 in the Europa League final thanks to an Ademola Lookman hat-trick.
Madrid, meanwhile, bagged their 15th Champions League/European Cup success after downing Borussia Dortmund 2-0 at Wembley. Carlo Ancelotti's side were double winners last time out, and they've since been bolstered by the arrival of French superstar Kylian Mbappe, who's set to make his Madrid debut on in Warsaw on Wednesday.
Here's 90min's preview of the 2024 UEFA Super Cup.

Real Madrid vs Atalanta score prediction
The big boys are back in town for Madrid, with plenty of intrigue surrounding Mbappe's integration. How will the Frenchman look on his Los Blancos bow?
We shouldn't expect anything close to the best iteration of Ancelotti's side in Warsaw, but Atalanta aren't exactly heading into their maiden Super Cup outing in the best of form. Their summer has been patchy, but they have worked astutely in the market.
Gasperini's side will compete fiercely on Wednesday and pose multiple tactical issues, but victory in the Super Cup against this superstar-laden Madrid outfit is surely beyond them.
Prediction: Real Madrid 2-0 Atalanta
