Kylian Mbappé appears ready to make his debut for Real Madrid in the Uefa Super Cup against Atalanta on Thursday.

Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said the France striker arrived in good shape following the European Championship and was adapting well to the team after a week of practice.

Mbappé “could play tomorrow,” Ancelotti said Tuesday at a news conference at the National Stadium in Warsaw where the match will be played.

The 25-year-old Mbappé is the biggest draw in the Polish capital after finally joining Madrid following a drawn-out saga with his former club, Paris Saint-Germain.

He was introduced to the club’s fans at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium last month, but wasn’t part of the squad on its U.S. tour while he rested after Euro 2024.

He joins a slew of world-class forwards at Madrid, including Vinícius Júnior, another new signing in Brazil striker Endrick, Jude Bellingham, Rodrygo and Arda Guler. (AP)
