Real Madrid will take on Europe League winners Atalanta in the latest edition of the UEFA Super Cup at National Stadium Warsaw. Los Blancos, who are expected to secure a comfortable victory in their opening game of the season, have triumphed over the Italian side in their last two meetings.
Real Madrid won the Champions League and La Liga last season and have added long-term target Kylian Mbappe to their ranks on a free transfer this summer. Los Blancos are the most successful club in UEFA Champions League history and will aim for an unprecedented sixth UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, facing Real Madrid will be quite the test for Gian Piero Gasperini’s side before they kick off the 2024/25 Serie A campaign. It has been quite a journey for the Bergamo team, who won their first trophy in 61 years last season.
