00:00A record 6th UEFA Super Cup victory for Real Madrid, this time with Kylian Mbappe for the
00:06first time in the famous white jersey.
00:09Champions League winners Madrid bested Europa League victors Atalanta 2-0 in Warsaw.
00:15Midfielder Jude Bellingham, who fed Mbappe the assist to his first goal for Real Madrid,
00:20says he had no doubt the young Frenchman would score.
00:23I expected it, yeah, to be honest.
00:25He's the kind of player that, you know, writes his own history, you know, he's kind of inevitable
00:30the way he performs and time and time again he delivers for his team and he did again
00:34tonight.
00:35Real Madrid has been Mbappe's dream club since childhood, the long-time home of his idol
00:40Cristiano Ronaldo.
00:42After a lacklustre final season for Paris Saint-Germain, Mbappe had dedicated his off-season
00:47to extra training as he got set to enter the Bernabeu, even skipping the Olympics.
00:53Ciccarlo Ancelotti, after Wednesday's victory, the Madrid manager with the most major trophy
00:57since 1958, says that hard work paid off.
01:03He has enormous qualities, obviously, he's worked really well, he gelled with his teammates,
01:08he worked on defence as well, just like everyone else.
01:13Mbappe has set goals of winning the Champions League and a Ballon d'Or, the first entirely
01:19plausible at Real Madrid, but the club's already star-studded roster, including Bellingham
01:25and Vinicius Jr, means he'll have stiff competition for football's highest individual honour.
