None of us imagine that the Atalanta team will win the Europa League final. However, Atalanta performed well in the Europa League. Liverpool and Marseille qualified for the Europa League final after defeating them. And the Atalanta team won the Europa League after defeating a strong team like Leverkusen in the final.

Real Madrid is undoubtedly stronger than Atalanta. But the Atalanta team cannot be considered weak. This team often surprises everyone with excellent performances. But we are all waiting to see Mbappe's performance in Real Madrid jersey.

Yes, you are right, I don’t know who would risk betting today that Atalanta is capable of beating Real, and the odds of 6.5 on Atalanta indicate that bookmakers also estimate their chances very low. To some extent, Real was lucky in the Champions League final, when their opponent was Dortmund, because to be honest, it was not the strongest team that could have been their opponent in the final. And the same thing is happening in the Super Cup final, because if Bayer had played them today, and they had been able to maintain their unbeaten streak until today, then the chances would have been estimated differently, but I think it will not be a problem for Real to beat Atalanta today.

I thought we would enjoy a competitive match. But the match seems very boring to me now. Neither team is doing much attacking. The players of both teams are playing very carefully. Mbappe is in Madrid's squad. But we have yet to see a better performance from Mabppe. At the end of 30 minutes, both teams managed to make only one shot each. Madrid had 51% ball possession and Atalanta had 49% ball possession.

As both teams are playing defensive tactics, it looks like the first half will end goalless. However, in the second half, Ancelotti will definitely change his match strategy. I hope the second half will be more exciting. Madrid really want to win today's match.
