Mbappe, who completed a free transfer to Real in June after his contract at Paris St Germain expired, lashed home from Jude Bellingham’s pass after Federico Valverde had given the Spanish champions a second-half lead. Real beat Borussia Dortmund 2-0 in the Champions League final in June and victory over Europa League winners Atalanta at the Narodowy Stadium secured a record sixth Super Cup success.Real defender Eder Militao’s attempted headed clearance from Marten de Roon’s cross looped on to the crossbar, while Brazil forward Rodrygo struck the bar with a shot from inside the penalty area.
Atalanta goalkeeper Juan Musso denied the Brazil forward a second and thwarted Bellingham soon after as Real took control. Mbappe made it 2-0 in the 69th minute after being teed up by Bellingham and Real comfortably saw the game out.
