Real Madrid face Atalanta in the UEFA Super Cup final on August 15 at 03:00. Ahead of the match, Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti confirmed that Mbappé could start the game and said that reports of a Saudi offer for Vinicius were false.
Ancelotti said: “Atalanta is a team that deserves to be here for their incredible work. Their coach, Gasperini, is a friend of mine, he has a lot of experience and he’s a very tactical coach so tomorrow will be a difficult game. I know he is missing a lot of players, but I believe it will be a great match.”
“Mbappé arrived on August 7th so we haven’t had much time to train, but he’s in good shape and has adapted well. He could start tomorrow. He’s very motivated, full of enthusiasm and has incredible talent. From what I’ve seen so far, the dressing room atmosphere is very healthy. This team doesn’t have princes or kings, they’re all players who know how to put their talent at the service of the team.”
There have been reports suggesting a large offer for Vinicius from a Saudi club. Ancelotti added: “Those are just rumours, nothing more. They haven’t affected him, he wants to help Real Madrid stay at the top.”
