The player who used to play for Paris Saint-Germain had a great first game for his new team, and Jude Bellingham was the star of an easy win.

Now that Kylian Mbappe is on the team, everyone else should be very scared. Real Madrid’s new player got off to a great start in white, scoring the first goal in the UEFA Super Cup win over Atalanta, winners of the Europa League, on Wednesday night in Warsaw.

He wasn’t by himself, though. Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Jr., and Rodrygo played slowly at first, but really heated up in the second half and helped Madrid to an easy win.

Carlo Ancelotti’s team had a hard time making plays for most of the first half because Mbappe, Vinicius, and Rodrygo couldn’t work together. The second one came the closest just before halftime, but their shot hit the bar.

After the break, Thibaut Courtois made a flying save to keep Real in the game. But just before the hour mark, Vinicius broke the game open by dancing down the wing and cutting the ball back to Federico Valverde, who scored into an empty net. After nine minutes, Mbappe scored again by smashing Bellingham’s pass into the top corner.

That was enough for Los Blancos. Vinicius and Mbappe kept asking questions, but there was no third goal. In any case, Madrid had full control. The scary part? Things will only get better.

The National Stadium Warsaw is where GOAL rates Real Madrid’s players…

Goalkeeper & Defence

Thibaut Courtois (8/10):

Made one ridiculous save just after half time. Followed it with a few other key interventions.

Dani Carvajal (7/10):

Held his own at right-back in a more defensive role than last season. Got into the chippy stuff as captain, too.

Eder Militao (6/10):

A little sloppy at times and was too easily dribbled past. Still in recovery mode from his ACL injury.

Antonio Rudiger (8/10):

 

Constantly on hand to sweep up issues. Got forward when needed, and ensured Ademola Lookman didn’t have much joy.

Ferland Mendy (6/10):

Had a lot to do early on as Madrid’s left flank looked rather disorganised. Settled into things later.

Midfield

Aurelien Tchouameni (6/10):

Did a job at the base of midfield, although he could have been tidier on the ball.

Federico Valverde (7/10):

Ate up ground for fun, and offered cover when everyone else got forward. Opened the scoring with a tap-in, too.

Jude Bellingham (8/10):

Picked up a yellow for a silly challenge. Started cooking in the second half, though. Assisted Mbappe and dribbled past players for fun. Looked every bit reigning La Liga Player of the Year after the break.

Attack

Rodrygo (7/10):

Smashed one off the bar shortly before half-time. Won the ball in the build-up to the first goal.

Kylian Mbappe (8/10):

Floated around, struggled to get involved, and then smashed one into the top corner. That might become a pattern this year if he plays as a No.9.

Vinicius Jr (8/10):

 

Dropped curiously deep at times. Came alive after the break, assisting Valverde. His understanding with Mbappe might take time to come together.

Subs & Manager

Luka Modric (7/10):

Floated around, played some lovely passes.

Brahim Diaz (N/A):

No time to make an impact.

Lucas Vazquez (N/A):

Fresh legs for Carvajal.

Arda Guler (N/A):

The most brief of run outs.

Carlo Ancelotti (7/10):

Went for a ridiculously attacking setup. His side were very poor for 45 minutes, but came alive after the break. They are going to be scary this year.
