Kylian Mbappé scored on his debut as Real Madrid beat Atalanta 2-0 to win the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday.
Uruguayan Federico Valverde put the European champions ahead after 59 minutes from close range and French striker Mbappé fired the ball into the top corner from Jude Bellingham’s pass to double Madrid’s advantage nine minutes later.
Mbappé, 25, signed a five-year contract with European and Spanish champions Madrid last month, joining on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain.
Madrid’s latest star arrival took some time to get settled alongside his new Galactico teammates Bellingham and Vincius Junior, but he made his mark in the second half with a blistering strike in the second half.
The France international joined his new teammates in preseason training last week after representing his country at Euro 2024 this summer, and was included in the squad for the Super Cup clash between Champions League winners Madrid and Europa League winners Atalanta in Warsaw, Poland.
Madrid clinched a record sixth Super Cup crown to move ahead of Barcelona and AC Milan, who have each won the annual match between the Champions League winners and Europa League champions five times.
