Real Madrid vs Atalanta Match Analysis & Prediction
14/08/2024 10:00 pm
The first slice of European stardom for the 2024-25 season is at stake on Wednesday night, as Real Madrid and Atalanta BC meet in Warsaw in the latest edition of the UEFA Super Cup.
Real Madrid added Champions League title number 15 to their ever-growing collection last season, while their Italian counterparts unexpectedly slayed a hitherto invincible Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League final.
As chance after chance went begging for Borussia Dortmund during the 2023-24 Champions League final under the Wembley arch, the consensus was thet BVB would be left to regret those wasted opportunities against Carlo Ancelotti’s Real Madrid, whose continental nous is second to none.
Los Blancos taught Dortmund a harsh lesson in ruthlessness through Dani Carvajal and Vinicius Junior in the second half to regain their rightful European Cup trophy, one of three crowns they won in 2023-24 alongside the La Liga title and Spanish Super Cup.
While Real’s current total of five UEFA Super Cup title puts them at the top of the charts alongside their two recent conquerors in Barcelona and Milan, Wednesday’s clash in Warsaw will represent Atalanta’s baptism in the continental curtain-raiser after their Ademola Lookman-inspired Europa League triumph.
In spite of their previous stunning success over pre-tournament favourites Liverpool, few gave Gian Piero Gasperini’s side any hope of trumping Xabi Alonso’s Leverkusen juggernaut, only for an astounding Lookman hat-trick to secure La Dea’s inaugural European title, and their first trophy of any sort for 61 years.
Europa League glory complemented a fourth-placed Serie A finish and Coppa Italia runners-up medal for the Italian titans, who also have an encounter with Copa Sudamericana winners LDU Quito to come in the UEFA-CONMEBOL Club Challenge, in addition to participating in next year’s Supercoppa Italiana.

Real Madrid Team News
Only missing experienced defender David Alaba amid his lengthy ACL recovery, Real’s starting XI in Warsaw should be headlined by the inclusion of Kylian Mbappe.
Finalists Dani Carvajal and Jude Bellingham should also be present in a near full-strength lineup from Ancelotti.

Atalanta Team News
Atalanta concluded a permanent deal for Charles De Ketelaere and captured Mateo Retegui from Genoa, while they also added Ben Godfrey, Nicolo Zaniolo and Ibrahim Sulemana to their ranks.
Retegui could very well make his competitive debut up top, as Gianluca Scamacca will be out for months with an ACL injury.
