Real Madrid will face Atalanta in the 2024 UEFA Super Cup at the National Stadium in Warsaw, Poland, on August 14, while the winners of the 2024 Champions League will face the protective champions of the Europa League.
With five UEFA Super Cup titles, Real Madrid are lately level with AC Milan and Barcelona for maximum wins in the competition, and have a chance to make history with a record sixth win on Wednesday.
Despite being the underdog, Gian Piero Gasperini’s Atalanta should not be underestimated, as they stunned the rest of the continent by winning the second UEFA festival by beating Bayer Leverkusen in May.
But what everyone is on their minds before the match is whether or not Kylian Mbappé will make his debut with Los Blancos.

Real Madrid will be without the now retired Toni Kroos for the first time competitively, while Nacho Fernandez has joined the Saudi Pro League to play for Al-Qadsian.
Carlo Ancelotti’s team will also include David Alaba, who is still recovering from an anterior cruciate ligament injury, and Eduardo Camavinga, who sprained a ligament during training this week.
What the Spanish giants will have is Kylian Mbappé. The French captain moved to Madrid this summer after a seven-season spell at Paris Saint-Germain and did not play on the pre-season tour of the United States; he has been training at Madrid.
Jude Bellingham returned to action without delay with Ancelotti’s idea of giving him maximum rest after his exploits with England at Euro 2024.
Real Madrid XI (4-3-3, left to right): Courtois (Goalkeeper) – Carvajal, Militao, Rudiger, Mendy – Valverde, Tchouameni, Bellingham – Rodrygo, Mbappé, Vinicius Junior.
Injured: Alaba, Camavinga
Atalanta have been busy during the transfer window, with manager Gian Piero Gasperini making several signings to update players who left the club after the 2023/24 season.
The team still depends on striker Ademola Lookman, who scored a hat-trick in the last Europa League final against Leverkusen, and who will be at the top again here.
Gianluca Scamacca and Giorgio Scalvini are injured.
