Kylian Mbappe made an immediate impact in his Real Madrid debut, scoring a decisive goal in a 2-0 victory over Atalanta in the Super Cup final on Wednesday. The win marked Real Madrid's record sixth Super Cup title, surpassing Barcelona and AC Milan.

Real Madrid took the lead in the 59th minute through Federico Valverde, who scored from close range. Mbappe doubled the advantage nine minutes later with a clinical finish from a Jude Bellingham pass.

Despite a strong defensive performance by Atalanta, including close attempts from Marten de Roon and Ademola Lookman, they couldn't find the net. Real Madrid's manager Carlo Ancelotti praised his team's second-half performance, highlighting their improved space utilization and quality play.
