"It's a magical night. I always dreamed of these kinds of nights, and now they are a reality," Mbappé said after the match, where the club secured its first title of the season. "Playing for this team, the best club in the world, is amazing. I'm very happy to have made my debut today. Of course, we wanted the trophy; it's very important because everyone wanted it," he added.
"I scored a goal, and it's always a pleasure. I hope to keep scoring and helping the team more," the Frenchman continued, responding to how he felt playing alongside Vinícius Jr. and Rodrygo, stating that it's "easy" to play with them.
Lastly, he spoke about his adaptation, thanking all his teammates for making it easier, from finding a new home in the Spanish capital to the day-to-day interactions at Valdebebas.
How did Mbappé perform in the UEFA Super Cup match?
He signed off on a dream debut, winning his first title as a Madridista and scoring in a match that will be unforgettable in his career. He struggled to find shooting opportunities, with only one chance in the first half from a Fede Valverde pass, which he struck against a defender. When he created chances himself, it was easier, dropping to the left wing and creating the first opportunity of the second half with a left-footed strike. Highly collaborative and determined, tirelessly searching for spaces, he showed flashes of quality without getting impatient when his teammates couldn't find him in the final third. Bellingham did find him, and he sought the space to fire an unstoppable right-footed shot into the top corner, the first of many goals he'll score with Real Madrid.
