RM vs ATN Match Preview
Real Madrid added a record-extending 15th Champions League title last season under the guidance of Carlo Ancelloti, his record fifth European honour as manager and a third with the club, by beating Borussia Dortmund in the final. Los Blancos also secured a 36th La Liga title and if their dominance was not enough, they secured a Galactico signing of their long-standing target Kylian Mbappe this summer. The world champion adds to the depth of the rich attacking talent in the team and fuels the conversation of superiority the Spanish giants want to assert this season. The era without Toni Kroos and Nacho Fernandez but with Mbappe holds promise and the Frenchman's debut will be a notable one if the club bags a record sixth UEFA Super Cup title in Warshaw. As a case, Real Madrid will stir clear of their rivals Barcelona and AC Milan. Although the preseason has not been ideal due to the disruptions of three international tournaments this summer, Ancelloti’s side wants to pass this test comfortably having all the options in hand now. The team also carry a 26-game unbeaten run from last season.
However, Atalanta will be unfazed by the quality and strength of the opposition as they will cherish the occasion of playing a first UEFA Super Cup and the 41st club to feature in it. La Dae had an incredible campaign in the Europa League, winning their inaugural European title in style beating invincible Bayer Leverkusen 3-0. Xabi Alonso’s side had a historic campaign winning the Bundesliga and DFB Pokal without losing a match, however, nothing could have snatched Gian Piero Gasperini’s team’s dream of winning a first trophy in 61 years. Atalanta also finished fourth in Serie A securing a Champions League spot and as runners-up in Coppa Italia. They will use that victory as motivation against that competition’s holders. Their pre-season has not lived up to expectations with huge losses to Parma and St Pauli before heading to Warshaw. The Europa League winners also lost the only two meetings against Real Madrid in the Champions League putting them on the edge. Atalanta
