Read Time:1 Minute, 15 Second

Kylian Mbappe is set to make his much-anticipated debut for Real Madrid in the UEFA Super Cup match against Atalanta on Wednesday night at the National Stadium in Warsaw.

The Champions League winners will face Atalanta, who clinched the Europa League title last season.

MbappƩ, who joined Madrid last month and has been on a break following his participation in Euro 2024, will be eager to secure his first trophy in a Madrid jersey.

MbappĆ© is expected to feature prominently, possibly leading the attack with support from Rodrygo and VinĆ­cius JĆŗnior on the wings.

Jude Bellingham, despite limited pre-season action due to the Euros, is also anticipated to start.

Madrid will be missing Nacho and Toni Kroos, who have departed since their Champions League final victory over Borussia Dortmund. Eder MilitĆ£o and AurĆ©lien TchouamĆ©ni are anticipated to step into the starting lineup as replacements.

Atalanta, meanwhile, have bolstered their squad with recent signings, including the permanent addition of Charles De Ketelaere, Ben Godfrey from Everton, and Nicolo Zaniolo on loan from Roma.

However, Gianluca Scamacca will be absent due to a long-term anterior cruciate ligament injury, and Teun Koopmeiners will not feature.

Atalanta manager Gian Piero Gasperini revealed that Koopmeiners skipped training as he sought a move to Juventus, prompting the club to take a firm stance against his actions.

The UEFA Super Cup clash promises to be an exciting showcase for new and seasoned talents alike as Real Madrid and Atalanta battle for the prestigious title.
