Super Cup: Ademola Lookman set for Mbappe showdown as Real Madrid unleash new boy, Bellingham, Vinicius vs Atalanta

The Champions League holders Real Madrid have revealed a jaw-dropping 24-man squad for their upcoming Super Cup showdown against Europa League winners Ademola Lookman’s Atalanta, featuring the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Jr.

Fresh off their historic Champions League triumph, Los Blancos are gearing up for a tantalising clash against the Italian upstarts, who will be spearheaded by Africa's rising star, Lookman.

Real Madrid booked their spot in the Super Cup after a dominant display against Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund, while Atalanta stunned Bayer Leverkusen to clinch their first-ever European title.

Now, the stage is set for a blockbuster encounter, with Real Madrid ready to unleash their newly acquired superstar Kylian Mbappe, who finally realised his dream of playing for the Spanish giants after joining as a free agent from Paris Saint-Germain.

Mbappe will be joined by a stellar supporting cast, including Ballon d'Or contenders Jude Bellingham, still reeling from England's heartbreak at Euro 2024, and Vinicius Jr., who experienced his own disappointment in the Copa America 2024 with Brazil.

However, Lookman and his Atalanta teammates will be no pushovers, having proven their mettle by toppling a Bundesliga powerhouse en route to their historic Europa League triumph.

The stage is set for an exciting showdown between the reigning Champions League champions and the upstart Europa League winners, with the coveted Super Cup trophy on the line. 

Real Madrid's star-studded squad will be eager to make an immediate statement, but Atalanta and Lookman will be determined to pull off a shock and cement their new place among Europe's elite.
