The National Stadium in Warsaw, Poland, will host the 2024 UEFA Super Cup, which this year will feature Real Madrid and Atalanta as the main protagonists. Both teams will present these lineups with the goal of securing a new trophy.

This pivotal trophy pits the latest champions of both the Champions League and the Europa League against each other. In this case, Real Madrid defeated Borussia Dortmund 2-0 in the Champions League final, while the Italian side beat Bayer Leverkusen 3-0 in the Europa League final.

The Spanish team anticipates the much-anticipated debut of French star Kylian Mbappe, who joined Real Madrid as one of the most high-profile signings in recent times. Meanwhile, Atalanta will seek to overcome the Spanish giant in their quest to win this title for the first time in their history.
