Kylian Mbappe‘s Real Madrid career could not have gotten off to a better start, with the French forward scoring a crucial goal, showing the Los Blancos fans exactly what they have been waiting so many years for.
It was a pursuit which threatened to undermine all the good work done by Florentino Perez in his second stint as club president.
Whilst there have been countless trophies, the failure to sign Neymar had left Real Madrid and Perez looking somewhat powerless in a changing market.
State-funded clubs were now able to outbid the Spanish giants, and the numerous pursuits of Mbappe had all previously ended in humiliation.
If it wasn’t PSG outright rejecting offers, it was Mbappe suggesting he would sign for Real Madrid on a free transfer in 2022 and then changing his mind at the last moment. Mbappe scores on debut as Real Madrid win the European Super Cup

Perez and Real Madrid felt played, yet uncharacteristically they refused to close the door to the World Cup winner, believing that he would eventually don the famous white shirt.
So, it proved, with Real Madrid and Mbappe easing to a 2-0 victory over Atalanta in the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday evening.
Carlo Ancelotti has an abundance of attacking resources
Carlo Ancelotti will not be able to complain about a lack of firepower this season, as seen by the inclusion of Mbappe, Vinicius Jr., Rodrygo Goes and Jude Bellingham in his starting XI against the Europa League winners.
Despite the brilliant individual talent on display, it took the Spanish champions until the 59th minute to break the deadlock, with Atalanta having held firm for much of the first-half, even forcing Thibaut Courtois into some smart saves.
