Both teams had opportunities, with Thibaut Courtois making a stunning save to deny Mario Pašalić from opening the scoring for Atalanta.

Mbappé, who joined Real Madrid on a free transfer from PSG, sealed the win with a powerful shot into the top corner after receiving a pass from Jude Bellingham. Describing the night as "magical," Mbappé expressed his excitement about playing for Real Madrid and contributing to the team's success. Mbappé praised his new teammates, particularly Vinícius and Rodrygo, for making it easy to adapt and play alongside them. Coach Carlo Ancelotti praised Mbappé's debut performance and emphasized the importance of teamwork among the star players. Ancelotti noted how well Mbappé adapted in his first game, combining effectively with Vinícius and Bellingham.
