Real Madrid’s victory put them ahead of both FC Barcelona and AC Milan with a total of six Super Cup titles.
At the same time, Carlo Ancelotti matched Miguel Munoz’s record of 14 trophies, becoming the joint most successful coach in Madrid’s history.
Spanish broadcaster Movistar asked Ancelotti if Mbappe could score 50 goals in 2024/2025.
“He has the quality to score many goals. We need to maintain team balance, which we achieved today. While the first half was spectacular, our defensive performance was outstanding,” the Italian gaffer stated.
In the 68th minute, Mbappe made a decisive impact by expertly scoring from inside the box, effectively sealing the trophy for Real Madrid and marking a promising debut for the former Monaco star.
Real Madrid fans may have found a new hero in the number nine shirt, and it’s hard to see how opponents will contain the formidable attacking lineup of Mbappe, Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo De Goes, and Jude Bellingham this season.
