Champions League holders Los Blancos have beaten UEFA Europa League champions Atalanta when both teams clashed for the Super Cup in Warsaw, Poland, winning the title for the sixth time in their ninth appearance.
The game, which ended with no goals in the first half, saw Atalanta pose a dangerous threat to Real Madrid in the first 45 minutes, making 7 goal attempts and recording 47 percent ball possession.
Their dreams were shattered in the 59th minute of the second half when Federico Valverde converted Vinícius Júnior’s assist, helping Madrid take a breath of relief.
In the 68th minute, Kylian Mbappé scored, giving his side a comfortable 2-0 lead as he began his goal-scoring chapter with Madrid.
Since Carlo Ancelotti reunited with Madrid from Everton, he has secured 14 trophies for the club, a feat that has made him level with Miguel Muñoz as the Real Madrid C.F. coach with the most titles.
Dani Carvajal has averaged a trophy every 16 games with the team since he joined 11 years ago.
