'This is Galactico's Power' Mbappe wins debut-goal-debut win! Real Madrid beat Atalanta 2-0 for the most Super Cup wins

Aug 15, 2024

Kylian Mbappe proved from the first game why Real Madrid wanted him so much.

Mbappe marked a spectacular start. He made his debut, scored his debut goal, and won his debut title. Real Madrid won 2-0 in the 2024 UEFA Super Cup against Atalanta at the Warsaw National Stadium in Poland on the 15th (Korea time). The Super Cup is a match that marks the opening of the season with the European Champions League winner and the Europa League winner facing off. Real Madrid, which had a big year last season, got off to a good start with the victory. Real Madrid, which has its sixth Super Cup in its career, beat AC Milan to become the most winning team.

As expected, the eyes of the day turned to Mbappe. Real Madrid signed Mbappe this summer. Mbappe's joining ceremony was held at Santiago Bernabeu, Real Madrid's home stadium in Madrid, Spain, on the 16th of last month. After finishing Euro 2024, Mbappe immediately began his journey as a Real Madrid player with a joining ceremony. More than 85,000 fans gathered to watch Mbappe. France 'Legends'Zinedine Zidane, a native of Mbappe who played and coached at Real Madrid, also visited the stadium and congratulated Mbappe. Wearing his uniform number 9, Mbappe excited the fans by chanting "Hala Madrid".

Real Madrid said on the club's website 'Mbappe received a huge welcome at the Santiago Bernabeu. More than 80,000 spectators applauded as he was unveiled as Madrid's new striker. We introduced Mbappe with a video of the 15 European Cups we won and Mbappe's great moments and goals. Club fronts such as Emilio Butrageno, Zinedine Zidane, Raul González and Alvaro Arbeloa were also present.

President Florentino Perez also welcomed Mbappe. "Now it will be another turning point in Real Madrid's history," Perez said. Santiago Bernabeu will continue to boast the best players in the world. "Today, we welcome Mbappe, a player who is achieving his dream of life." Thank you for the effort that many can't even imagine so Mbappe can wear this white uniform today. Welcome to your new home."

Mbappe was also thrilled. He "It feels incredible to be here. I spent endless nights dreaming of playing for Real Madrid one day and today I'm a happy person. If we work hard and don't lose our dreams, we can all achieve great things." Then "My family is happy, and my mother is crying. It's an incredible day. I'll give my life for this club and the emblem"I want to send a message to the children. I was a kid like you, I had a dream, and I achieved it today. If you have passion, you can do whatever you want. One of you can be me next time."

It was Mbappe's Spanish skills that caught my eye. Mbappe told the whole story in Spanish. He said "My Spanish was not the best when I was in school. But I tried 100% because I had a dream to play for Real Madrid. My Spanish is not bad, but it will be better.' Real Madrid, as it is known, was Mbappe's dream club. With the announcement of the contract last month, Mbappe posted on his SNS page that his dream came true. My 'dream team' I'm happy and proud to join Real Madrid. "No one knows how excited I am right now. I can't wait to meet Real Madrid fans.

Mbappe chanted `One, two, three' in Spanish, `Hala Madrid!" raised his voice. Mbappe lifted his arms up in time. It was the same as when Cristiano Ronaldo joined the club 15 years ago. Ronaldo wore a Real Madrid uniform in a big welcome in 2009, and as we know, Ronaldo played a legendary role in Real Madrid. Mbappe relished the joy by kissing the Real Madrid emblem. Beane Sports is 'Mbappe will take Ronaldo's joining ceremony. It has been confirmed once again that Mbappe considers Ronaldo an icon. It is one of the days Real Madrid have been looking forward to in recent years. 'The main stage with a 360-degree electronic board and runway showing the highlights of Mbappe, a huge screen and 15 European Cup trophies was impressive.'

Real Madrid agreed to a contract with Mbappe on its official channel on the 64th. Mbappe will be a Real Madrid player for the next five years, he announced. He then added that he strengthened the team squad by recruiting Mbappe, who was the top scorer six times, including his most goals (44 goals) in a season at Paris Saint-Germain last season. As a result, Mbappe left Paris Saint-Germain without a transfer fee as a free agent and played for Real Madrid until 2029.

Real Madrid, which was already the top in Europe, peaked with the signing of Mbappe. Real Madrid, which launched the first Galactico in the mid-2000s by recruiting Luis Figo, Zinedine Zidane, Ronald, and David Beckham in turn, completed the second Galactico in the 2010s by adding Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, and Kareem Benzema. In the 2020s, he improved his constitution by adding a large number of young talents such as Vinicius Junior, Hodrigo, and Jude Bellingham of Real Madrid, and then added 'World's Best Player' Mbappe to form the third Galactico. With Mbappe at the front line, which was the only weakness, it is now a de facto flawless team.

A lot of attention was paid to Mbappe's debut. Mbappe was the front-line striker on the day. Every time I caught the ball, I got a lot of attention. Mbappe lived up to expectations with his perfect performance on the day. In the Real Madrid-led game, Mbappe made a sharp move. Starting with the first shot in the 15th minute of the first half, he scored his first goal in the 23rd minute of the second half to seal the game. Mbappe played 83 minutes and scored one goal by shooting three times, and received a 7.7 rating from football statistics media WhoScored. It is the third most comfortable evaluation in the team. Bellingham scored a 9.3 rating, the highest in the team, with three crucial passes for five dribbles and one assist.

Real Madrid, joined by Mbappe, showed a different dimension and won a complete victory. In the 25th minute of the first half, there was a crisis that a ball that Ed Militão cleared with a header hit the post, but he also pressured Atalanta, such as hitting the post with Rodrigo's shot. Vinicius, who hit the left space in the 14th minute of the second half, attempted a cross that beat the goalkeeper. Federico Valverde kicked an empty goal. Nine minutes later, Mbappe received Bellingham's pass and attempted a right-footed shot through the defense to score. Real Madrid wrapped up their 2-0 win, keeping a good eye on the rest of the day.

Mbappe, who will lift the trophy from his debut, will make his debut in Spain's Primera Liga in an away match in Mallorca on the 19th. His home debut match will be against Real Valladolid on the 26th.
