Real Madrid face Atalanta on Wednesday (9pm) in the UEFA Super Cup. A match to follow live with commentary on our site and to watch in streaming.
Real Madrid-Atalanta, pre-match
After a successful 2023-2024 season, notably punctuated by a league title in La Liga and a final victory in the Champions League, Real Madrid is playing its very first official match of the new season this Wednesday. On this occasion, Carlo Ancelotti’s men will face Atalanta Bergamo, as part of the UEFA Super Cup. Perhaps a first trophy for the Merengue who are counting on the first scheduled appearance of Kylian Mbappé, to make the difference. The Italian coach of the new French arrival should indeed start him.
But the opposition on the other side may be tougher than expected since Atalanta intends to surprise its opponent, as it did on May 22 in the Europa League final. Arriving as outsiders, Gian Piero Gasperini’s protégés managed to surprise and sweep aside a Bayer Leverkusen that had been brilliant throughout the season (3-0). There should therefore be a spectacle between the two European winners.
Real Madrid-Atalanta, the official line-ups
Real Madrid : Courtois – Carvajal, Militao, Rüdiger, Mendy – Tchouaméni, Valverde, Bellingham – Mbappé, Rodrygo, Vinicius.
Atalanta: Musso – Djimsiti, Hien, Kolasinac – Zappacosta, De Roon, Ederson, Ruggeri – Pasalic – Lookman, De Ketelaere.
Real Madrid-Atalanta, where to watch the match?
