All eyes are on Kylian Mbappe as Real Madrid gears up for Wednesday's UEFA Super Cup showdown against Atalanta! The French superstar, who joined Los Blancos this summer after a years-long transfer saga, could make his first appearance—but coach Carlo Ancelotti is keeping fans guessing.
Why it matters: A debut for Mbappe would mark a new era for the Champions League winners. But Ancelotti, known for his poker-face strategies, told reporters: 'Everyone here can play.' Will he prioritize loyalty to last season's squad or unleash Europe's most hyped forward?
Plot twist: Even if Mbappe starts on the bench, his penalty expertise could still sway the game. Ancelotti teased a 'civil war' of shootout talents, naming Jude Bellingham and Federico Valverde as contenders. 'I have to pick someone who starts,' he said—hinting at a tactical chess match.
History in the making: A win would make Real Madrid the Super Cup's sole record-holder (sorry, Barça and AC Milan!). Plus, FIFA's new Intercontinental Cup means seven trophies are up for grabs this season—talk about #PressureCooker mode!
Atalanta's uphill battle: The Italian underdogs face Madrid without injured star Gianluca Scamacca. But coach Gian Piero Gasperini insists: 'You can overturn the odds.' Remember their Europa League final stunner?
