Kylian Mbappe admits scoring to help clinch the UEFA Super Cup was a dream start to his Real Madrid tenure.
The 25-year-old took just over an hour to bag a debut goal as the Champions League winners overcame Europa League holders Atalanta in the traditional curtain-raiser in Warsaw on Wednesday night.
The Frenchman slammed home a pull-back from player of the match Jude Bellingham to cap a 2-0 win and begin his new era following a switch from Paris Saint Germain with a trophy.

Mbappe told Movistar: “It was a great night. It’s a great moment for me. And we won a title, which is important – at Madrid you always have to win.
“I am very happy. And with the goal too – it is important for a striker like me. But the most important thing has been to have the pleasure of playing with this team.
“We are at Real Madrid, we have no limit. If I can score 50, then 50, but the most important thing is winning and improving as a team, because we will win as a team
Mbappe also scored on his debut for Monaco’s youth team, PSG in Ligue 1 and also the Champions League, and told uefa.com: “It’s not bad. It’s obviously easier to start on a positive step and I’m so happy to have done that.
“It’s always special (to score) so it’s obviously hard to ask a striker which goal he preferred, but, naturally, this one is very special.
A new adventure
“It’s a long-awaited goal, I was very keen on starting this new adventure with Real Madrid. To start well, to start with a trophy is very special. You want to win every trophy available, so that’s the objective.”
