Debut delight as Mbappe scores in UEFA Super Cup
The 25-year-old had a subdued start, with the Atalanta defence keeping a close eye on him, particularly in the first half.
However, it always felt like a matter of time before Mbappe would find his moment.
But when the first goal came for Madrid, it was through the boots of Fede Valverde, and the momentum shifted in the favour of the Champions League winners as they searched for a second goal to secure their lead.
The stage was finally set for Mbappe, and he didn't disappoint.
How did Mbappe score his debut goal for Real Madrid?
In a swift counterattack orchestrated by Carlo Ancelotti's side, Vinicius Junior initially seemed to have misplaced a pass intended for Mbappe.
However, Jude Bellingham was quick to recover the situation, keeping the play alive with a precise pass that found the French captain in a prime position.
