Real Madrid takes against Atalanta of Italy on Wednesday night at the National Stadium in Warsaw, Poland, with the goal of breaking the record for most consecutive UEFA Super Cup victories. With a victory this week, they would take the lead in the Super Cup standings, which they now share with rivals Barcelona and Milan of Italy.
The 15-time European champions have a wealth of experience in this situation, having been in similar positions numerous times. On the other hand, their Serie A opponents are entering uncharted territory as they make their debut in the showpiece match, following their impressive victory over Bayer Leverkusen in last season’s Europa League final.
The most exciting thing for those on the outside could be the chance to see Kylian Mbappé in his Real Madrid uniform for the first time in a competitive match. The excitement, meanwhile, is in the pursuit of yet another trophy for Carlo Ancelotti, the rest of the team, and Madridistas worldwide.
Carlo Ancelotti is a UEFA Super Cup veteran coach with outstanding expertise. The Italian manager has won four titles from the tournament, a record no other coach has surpassed. Currently, however, he shares the record with Pep Guardiola, who has also won four Super Cups.
Meanwhile, after that incredible victory over Leverkusen in Dublin, Gian Piero Gasperini will be aiming for a second big prize of his managerial career.
