The European Super Cup is already up for grabs for Real Madrid this season. About two and a half months have passed since our team’s victory at Wembley in the Champions League. They are now playing competitively once more. Tonight at 9 p.m. CEST, they take on the Europa League winners, Atalanta, at Warsaw’s National Stadium. The team led by Ancelotti will aim to increase their notoriety in Europe by capturing the European Super Cup six times.
There appears to be more reasons why this game will be really special than merely the opportunity to win additional titles. Mbappé and Endrick might participate in their first match for our team and possibly take home their first trophy as Madrid supporters. Not only that, but the game is the first in a thrilling season that will feature seven competitions: the Club World Cup, the Intercontinental Cup, the Spanish Super Cup, La Liga, Copa del Rey, and the European Super Cup.
Records: A number of records are also in danger of being broken this evening. Should Madrid prevail, they will hold the record for the most continental cup victories in the competition’s history. Modrić will be attempting to capture his 27th title as a Madridista during this time. If he succeeds, he will hold the record for most trophies won by a player for our team.
Ancelotti may also win his 14th championship with the team. Should he succeed, he will share the record for most trophies won by a coach in Real Madrid history with Miguel Muñoz. If he prevailed, he would become the only coach in history to have won the European Super Cup five times: “It’s the first title of a tough season, and we want to get off to a good start,” the coach stated during the press conference.
Tonight’s opponent is the squad that defeated Bayer Leverkusen 3-0 in the Europa League final. They had eight victories, four ties, and one tournament defeat throughout their stellar campaign. Lookman will be an important player for Italy again tonight after scoring an incredible hat-trick in the final to win the squad the trophy. Atalanta will take on Real Madrid in a European competition for the third time. They are facing off in the European Super Cup final for the first time. Madrid prevailed in both of their previous meetings in the Champions 2020–21.
