Champions League winners Los Blancos will square up against Europa League winners Atalanta BC in the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday, August 14th by 8pm.

Kylian Mbappe missed Real Madrid's pre-season tour of the USA due to Euro 2024 duties, but he is back in training with Carlo Ancelotti and the team after a well-deserved break.

Mbappe will likely lead the attack alongside Brazilian duo Rodrygo and Vinicius Junior to form a formidable front three.

Real Madrid's possible starting lineup:

  • Goalkeeper: Courtois
  • Defenders: Carvajal, Rudiger, Militao, Mendy
  • Midfielders: Valverde, Tchouameni, Bellingham
  • Attack: Rodrygo, Mbappe, Vinicius Junior

Gasperini keeps faith in Lookman

Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini will also be hoping that Super Eagles star Ademola Lookman will find his scoring boots again after he bagged a brace in the Europa League final in the 3-0 victory over Bayer Leverkusen.

The win was Atalanta's first major trophy in 61 years, and if Gasperini can motivate his troops to get the better of Real Madrid, it will be another major upset.

Atalanta's possible starting lineup:

  • Goalkeeper: Carnesecchi
  • Defenders: Zappacosta, Djimsiti, Hien, Kolasinac
  • Midfielders: Pasalic, Ederson, Touré
  • Attack: Lookman, De Ketelaere, Koopmeiners
