A Goal and a Trophy
Kylian Mbappé pulled on the famous white jersey of the Spanish champions for the first time in a competitive match and scored the second goal in the win.
Mbappé’s Impressive Debut
Mbappé, who started and played 82 minutes, met a pass from Jude Bellingham across the area with a shot into the top corner in the 68th minute. "He is inevitable," Bellingham said of Mbappé. "It’s a big step for him – people have been talking about him coming here for a long time — and it feels like he’s been here for a while."
Madrid’s Star-Studded Strike Force
After putting both arms across his chest for his trademark celebration, Mbappé was congratulated by Vinícius Júnior and Rodrygo, the other members of Madrid’s star-studded strike force. Federico Valverde tapped home a cross from Vinícius in the 59th to set Madrid on its way to a record sixth victory in the Super Cup.
Madrid’s Dominance
Madrid is used to holding records – no team has more European Cup titles than its 15 – and owning the world’s best players. Mbappé certainly belongs in that category and it was a strong start to life at the world’s top soccer club.
Coach’s Thoughts
"We have a new-look team and it seemed to just click tonight," Bellingham said. "Sometimes it takes a bit of time – the first half we were still adjusting — and the second half it all came together and we were brilliant." Vinícius and Bellingham were the game’s standout players, and Luka Modric lifted the trophy high to a backdrop of gold confetti.
Conclusion
Mbappé’s debut for Real Madrid was a successful one, with a goal and a trophy to his name. It was a strong start to his time at the world’s top soccer club, and he is sure to be an exciting addition to the team.
