As chance after chance went begging for Borussia Dortmund during the 2023-24 Champions League final under the Wembley arch, the consensus was that the German giants would be left to regret those wasted opportunities against Carlo Ancelotti’s Real, whose continental nous is second to none.
True enough, the men in white taught Dortmund a harsh lesson in ruthlessness through Dani Carvajal and Vinicius Junior in the second half to regain their rightful European Cup trophy, one of three crowns they won in 2023-24 alongside the La Liga title and Spanish Super Cup.

While Real Madrid’s current total of five UEFA Super Cup crowns puts them at the top of the charts alongside their two recent conquerors in Barcelona and Milan, Wednesday’s battle in Warsaw will represent Atalanta’s baptism in the continental curtain-raiser after their Ademola Lookman-inspired Europa League triumph.
In spite of their previous stunning success over pre-tournament favourites Liverpool, few gave Gian Piero Gasperini’s men any hope of trumping Xabi Alonso’s Leverkusen juggernaut, only for an astounding Lookman hat-trick to clinch La Dea’s inaugural European title, and their first trophy of any sort for 61 years.

Neither Real Madrid nor Atalanta have been setting pitches alight in pre-season, although Euros, Copa America and Olympics disruption is partially to blame, and Gasperini’s troops command plenty of respect from their more revered foes. However, the astonishing attacking depth in Ancelotti’s ranks is too difficult to ignore, and we can only envisage the Champions League winners coming up trumps in Warsaw, potentially with a debut goal for Mbappe.
Real Madrid 3-1 Atalanta BC, predicted by us.
