Kylian Mbappe: How Frenchman Could Win a Trophy in First His Real Madrid Game

• Kylian Mbappe officially sealed his dream transfer move to La Liga champions Real Madrid on Monday evening, June 3
• The France international is understood to have penned a lucrative five-year deal with the current Champions League winners
• The 25-year-old forward is expected to play his debut game for Real Madrid against Atalanta in the UEFA Super Cup

The UEFA Super Cup, an annual curtain-raiser, traditionally pits the Europa League champions against the Champions League victors.

This season's match is scheduled to take place in Warsaw, Poland, next August.

It promises an extra layer of excitement as it could mark Kylian Mbappe's official debut for his new club, donning the white jersey.

Real Madrid, aiming for their sixth European Super Cup triumph, boast a track record of eight final appearances, clinching victory five times, per Diario AS.

Their most recent triumph was in Helsinki in 2022, where they secured a 2-0 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt.

The 58,000-seater National Stadium in Warsaw will host the showdown on August 14th, as Carlo Ancelotti's Champions League victors square off against Gasperini's Atalanta, the conquerors of Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League final held in Dublin.

When is Mbappe's official debut for Real Madrid?

As the new La Liga season kicks off on August 16th, the Super Cup tie in Poland is poised to be Real Madrid's first game of the 2024-25 season, possibly marking Mbappe's debut.

Hence, the France captain stands to claim a trophy in his maiden match with Real Madrid.

The UEFA Super Cup represents one accolade that has eluded Mbappe throughout his career; he never clinched a European trophy during his tenure at PSG.

Elsewhere, Sports Brief reported on Mbappe’s account on how PSG attempted to freeze him out of the squad.

Speaking for the first time since signing a five-year contract with a reported £85 million signing-on fee at Madrid, Mbappe claimed PSG had told him to his face that he would be barred from the team.

The Parisians made true their threat when they excluded the France captain from their pre-season team and prohibited him from the club's training facility.
