Real Madrid’s new signing Kylian Mbappe said the club has no limit after their UEFA Super Cup victory. Los Blancos registered a 2-0 win against Atalanta with Mbappe making his much-awaited debut. The Frenchman striker scored on his debut after he found the back of the net in the 68th minute.
Meanwhile, Federico Valverde scored the opener for Real Madrid in the 59th minute at the National Stadium, in Warsaw, Poland. Madrid has a lot of quality players in the squad and Mbappe will definitely add more strength to the club.
“We’re at Real Madrid, we have no limit, I have no limit,” Mbappé told Movistar after the match on Wednesday when he was asked whether 50 goals was a realistic target for him this season. “If I can score 50 goals, it’s 50. But the most important thing is to win and improve as a team, because we’re going to win as a team.”
Mbappe played as a central forward and said he had been waiting for this night for a long time.
“A great night,” Mbappé said. “I’ve been waiting for this moment a long time, to play in this shirt, with this badge, for these fans. It’s a great moment for me.
“Winning a trophy is very important, we know that [at Madrid] we always have to win. I’m very happy, for sure with the goal, for a forward like me, being decisive in my first game, but more importantly it’s a pleasure to play.”
Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti decided to play Vinicius Jr. and Jude Bellingham on either side of Mbappe.
“They’re two great players,” Mbappé said, when asked about Vinícius and Bellingham, who combined to set up his goal. “But here we have the best in every position. I’m happy to play with the entire squad we have; we’ll improve for sure, me first of all, but today is a positive step.”
“They deserve it,” midfielder Valverde said, when asked about the attacking unit. “Let’s hope we can enjoy a lot of games like today. They can enjoy themselves and play well, and us further back will run for them!”
Real Madrid dominated the contest, taking 13 shots, with six of them on target. The club will begin their La Liga campaign against Mallorca on Sunday.
