Emma, thank you. Hello again everyone and here we go again. The European season starts here for Real
Madrid and Atalanta in the National Stadium here in Warsaw. It's the Champions League winners,
the Europa League winners from last season, head-to-head the Kings from Madrid and the Fairy
Tale from Bergamo. The trophies being carried out by the respective captains. Dani Carvajal who's
had quite a few months skippering Real Madrid tonight and Martin Deroan who missed the Europa
League final. The big night in Dublin for Atalanta but he's back and carrying out the spoils here.
Sixth time and Atalanta playing in it for the... I mean I knew he was a big lad,
Nacho has gone, so has Toni Kroos, but of course they've got Endrik as well as Kylian Mbappé, so
I'm interested to see what role Mbappé occupies in the team because he was often asked just to
win games on his own for Paris Saint-Germain, that won't be the case for Real Madrid who are
attacking here. This follows Real on the ball, lovely ball, Vinicius Junior finding Mbappé,
one ball out there, here's the Belgian, Di Cattelara, that's a lovely ball in for Zafacosta
and they're in behind for the first time and they just spotted a little tug in there I think by
Lukman, actually now Lukman, it's not a bad ball of a space for the Uruguayan to run and deliver
the ball in towards Mbappé and that's the first opportunity for Real Madrid's number nine.
It's a brilliant block. Mbappé's off through the middle, Bellingham's going to play the ball early.
Mbappé had made the run but it was a lovely move.
Carvajal's ball in, flashes right across the front of Vinicius Junior.
He knows something if he goes to split second earlier, he's got himself a tap-in.
It's De Roos whipping it through, that just flicked off Militao that might well
have diverted it past his goalkeeper. I think Bellingham just switches off there.
Militao, another counter-attack on with Mbappé, he didn't mean it but he's made something of it.
Give it straight back to Atalanta and the shot came in.
Mbappé had just managed to sneak it behind Ederson but that's really good
defended by Kieran to get across. That's Kieran Coleman, isn't it?
Here's Mbappé, to get it through to Bellingham.
Incident, here's Bellingham gliding away to Ketelara back for Atalanta.
And those messages...
Here's Chiwemene, that's a little bit sloppy, Lukman's away,
Rüdiger's got to get back but he's quick. He's doing what he does best, showing all his energy
for Real Madrid. Here's Vinicius Junior, it's a lovely ball lifted in, Bellingham takes it down
and the goalkeeper did brilliantly, Moussa. Both of them felt the force of the challenge but...
He's either tamed it absolutely perfectly, just offside, I'm not...
The argument against it would be there won't be too many games that Real Madrid will play.
And a good run at the Copa America with Uruguay, that's a fault on Mbappé.
The first half, here's Mbappé, Bellingham, Mbappé.
Vinicius Junior just showed too much of that to De Roon and then he catches it.
Here's Vinicius Junior for Real Madrid right at the end of the half,
fits it straight at Rouge by Militao, Lukman can bring it down and shoot.
And it goes now towards Rodrigo!
Well he beat the goalkeeper and hit the top of the bar.
And it's the closest Real Madrid have come in the first half.
Yeah and he does well to run it through.
What a view to the great kick-off at the weekend.
Here's Mbappé, he can have a run at Gym City for the first time in the half and beat him.
And then not find the finish. The first part was trademark Mbappé, the second bit not so.
First time we've seen him actually get a little bit of space in a wider area.
In towards Pasilic, that's a brilliant save by Courtois.
The fingertips of the Belgian denying Pasilic the goal.
That's a brilliant save. What a header it is as well, man.
I've got to say, he just hangs it up, doesn't he? You can see he takes the position here.
De Roon pulls the delivery in, he gets up perfectly.
And then smashed in wide by Rooney.
In towards Mbappé, that's now Carvajal.
And that's going to be so elegant when he starts to run like that, Bellingham.
There's Mbappé's speed to get the other side of Zafir Costa.
He's drawn a crowd over there and that settles in the end for the throw-in.
Bellingham can hit the shot and it was set up perfectly for him by the Uruguayan.
Yeah, Valverde does really well running away from the goal.
Back heels it into the space for Bellingham.
Gets it back again from Bellingham, angles against him.
Bellingham then nice and strong against the Ketelar.
A good play from Bellingham.
They were so good at staying in matches.
Here's Mbappé, that's here again.
He's having an outstanding match.
You better believe he is.
A lovely little ball.
That's the opportunity for Bellingham.
Vinicius Junior gliding through and pulling it back!
And Valverde in Champions League in the Super Cup.
And it's Fede Valverde who plays more games than anyone else in the white shirt of Madrid.
Who scores here in Warsaw.
What a goal that is.
It's all about the playmaker, Vinicius Junior, isn't it?
He goes onto his right foot and then cuts back outside the defender.
And then he provides Valverde with the simplest and easiest of tasks in the finish.
But watch, it's all about the touch coming inside and outside.
Shows him it back on, you think he's left-footed,
but he takes another touch with his right and just knocks it with his right.
Watch this touch.
I was a little bit disappointed by what I saw from them in the first half,
but they're so much better now.
Vinicius Junior in, that's a brilliant save by Moussa.
You would have bet everything you've got on you that he would score there, Vinicius.
And I thought he was going to side-foot it down to the goalkeeper's left.
I thought that was the finish.
Make no mistake.
Force here for Bellingham.
And I think it's here who gets something on.
It's an outstanding stop by Moussa running back.
How did he keep that out?
No idea.
I thought Bellingham just got it caught in his feet.
Vinicius Junior, Jude Bellingham spinning away.
Brilliant turn from Bellingham.
Delivered in by Rougerie.
Here's Rodrigo.
Inside to Vinicius Junior.
Pulled square towards Mbappé.
Kept alive now by Bellingham.
It's Mbappé coming on and scoring!
Real Madrid debut.
Scores his first goal for the club.
The first of how many?
We'll wait and see.
Galactico.
Kylian Mbappé.
He's off and running in the wide of Real Madrid.
Well, they've dominated the start of proceedings in the second half.
No real surprise, the second goal goes in, Fletch.
I think it's Bellingham that does really well, cuts it back.
Does exceptionally well, Bellingham.
But the finish itself, we've seen it a hundred times.
He's livid.
He knew.
Yeah, he knows.
Back up.
Not a bad ball and Courtois...
Starting to strut.
Bellingham gliding through.
Here he goes, Bellingham.
I mean, it's a brilliant run, but I'm thinking he's got to get a shot away at some point.
And he goes now to Vinicius Junior.
Swinging the cross in towards Retegi in the middle.
Godfrey's in there as well.
And that's cleared away by Milita.
Applauded off by the Real Madrid supporters.
And Luka Modric is on to make his 535th appearance for Real Madrid.
Signed an E1.
It's an excellent pass, isn't it, from Bellingham?
Your man.
Whenever you're ready.
What a turn that is from Vinicius Junior.
A cross goes.
Vinicius Junior.
Deflected!
And somehow didn't spin in.
It's brilliant again down that left-hand side.
Modric involved.
Number nine.
Standing ovation from the supporters.
And Brahim Diaz coming on to replace him.
All we're good at doing is a satisfactory half.
Bellingham's had a wonderful second half, hasn't he?
The talent that he's got.
The player coming on to replace him.
Ardegul has got bundles of it as well.
Jude Bellingham is finished as well.
And the Champions League winners have won the Super Cup.
And Kylian Mbappe's made his debut for them tonight.
And scored his first goal.
It's another trophy in the cabinet for Ancelotti.
Remain the gold standard.
As Luka Modric, with the trophy, joins his teammates.
The European champions are now the super champions.
The Super Cup is on its way to Madrid once again.
And well deserved.
What a football player that man is.
What a career he's had.
