Real Madrid will face Atalanta in the 2024 UEFA Super Cup at the National Stadium in Warsaw, Poland on August 14, when the 2024 Champions League winners take on the reigning Europa League champions.
With five UEFA Super Cup titles, Real Madrid are currently tied with AC Milan and Barcelona for the most wins in the competition, and have the chance to make history with a record sixth triumph on Wednesday.
Despite being the underdogs, Gian Piero Gasperini’s Atalanta should not be underestimated, having shocked the rest of the continent by winning UEFA’s second-tier competition by beating Bayer Leverkusen in May.
But the question everyone is asking before the match is: will Kylian Mbappé make his debut for Los Blancos or not?
