Ancelotti Confirms Mbappe’s Debut for Real Madrid

Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed that Kylian Mbappe will make his much-anticipated Real Madrid debut in the UEFA Super Cup final against Atalanta on August 14. Los Blancos are currently on a pre-season tour in the USA, aiming to build player fitness despite losing their first two matches.

Ancelotti’s squad will face Chelsea on August 7 in North Carolina before returning to Spain to prepare for the final in Warsaw. Mbappe, who was not included in the USA squad due to an extended summer break following France’s Euro 2024 campaign, is set to make his debut in the Super Cup.

Ancelotti remarked, “Mbappe can obviously play in the Super Cup from the start. Jude Bellingham too and others. They are prepared, they have followed a plan and will all play,” as reported by Mundo Deportivo.

Real Madrid will kick off their La Liga title defense on August 18 with an away match against Mallorca.
