Real Madrid have claimed their place as the most successful team in UEFA Super Cup history, thanks to a 2-0 victory over Italian side Atalanta BC on Wednesday night. The breakthrough came in the 59th minute when Federico Valverde converted a low cross from Vinicius with a close-range finish.
Earlier, Rodrygo struck the crossbar late in the first half, and Thibaut Courtois made a brilliant save to deny Mario Pasalic’s header early in the second half. Valverde eventually broke the deadlock, and Kylian Mbappe, on his debut, doubled the lead in the 68th minute.
Real Madrid gradually took control of the game after a tight first half, securing Carlo Ancelotti’s team their first trophy of the 2024-25 season.
