Kylian Mbappé scores in debut as Real Madrid win Super Cup

Kylian Mbappé scored on his debut as Real Madrid beat Atalanta 2-0 to win the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday.

Uruguayan Federico Valverde put the European champions ahead after 59 minutes from close range and French striker Mbappé fired the ball into the top corner from Jude Bellingham's pass to double Madrid's advantage nine minutes later.

Mbappé, 25, signed a five-year contract with European and Spanish champions Madrid last month, joining on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain.

Madrid's latest star arrival took some time to get settled alongside his new Galactico teammates Bellingham and Vincius Junior, but he made his mark in the second half with a blistering strike in the second half.
