Real Madrid are gearing up for their opening match of the 2024-25 season: Wednesday’s UEFA Super Cup final against Atalanta, last season’s Europa League winners. Carlo Ancelotti will have a full quota of players to choose from, David Alaba aside.
The match in Warsaw will be Kylian Mbappe’s first as a Real Madrid player. The 25-year-old is the marquee signing of the summer, and while big things are expected of him in the Spanish capital, he may not start against Atalanta.
As per Diario AS, Ancelotti is considering keeping faith with the team that started the Champions League final in June. The only two changes would be enforced ones: Eder Militao for Nacho Fernandez, and Luka Modric for Toni Kroos.
That would leave Mbappe on the bench, although he could start ahead of Rodrygo Goes in attack. Equally, Ancelotti may decide to go to the expected 4-3-3, with Modric being the one not to start.
Real Madrid will be determined to collect another piece of silverware next week, although it is a match that Ancelotti can use for experimentation – it could be needed, given that he didn’t have Mbappe or Jude Bellingham for the entirety of pre-season.
Please I begged your pardon,
allow Kyle Mbappe to start his first game. Avoid early fussion in the team. Mbappe is a big player.
He will change the game believe me.
Why signing Mbabbe to keep him on the bench. If he is physically ready he has to start!
Please I begged your pardon,

My advice to you best coach, allow this players as your first eleven. 1 Courtois 2 Cavajal 3 Mendy 4 Tchoumeni 5 Militao 6 Rudigur 7 Valverde 8 Bellingam 9 MBappe 10 Modric 11 Vini.
The worst thing a coach can do is keeping a best player on the bench.
Kylian mbappe can be a big instrumental
Kylian mbappe should start the match, please
the greatest prayer of all time
Allow Kylian to start his first game . He will not disappoint
Pleaase allowed klyam to start
Kylian should start
The coach is always right he sees things that we can’t see .
Kylian mbape should be tested for the upcoming match plz coach decide well this issue
I wi
ll not go nd watch if kylin mbappe will not play this game.
4unity,let mbappe come-in second half
I love Ancelotti the team who won champions league shud start 🙌 👏
LET MUBAPPE TO START
He should start i beg
Not a dilema at all . Let’s wait for official line up instead of posting unsure post .
I think there other matches in the league for trying out players, A super league should be considered as a final therefore best squad ought to be selected.
Allow. Mbappe to deliver what he has firstly .
No way Mbappe can be on the bench, he’s a big name player
The supercup is not a friendly match!!! Atalanta is not an average team! The best Madrid team should start! Mbappe must start!! Period.
