Kylian Mbappé said there’s “no limit” to how many goals he and Real Madrid can score this season, after getting off the mark in his debut as the club lifted the UEFA Super Cup with a 2-0 win over Atalanta.
After a tight first half in Warsaw, Poland, Federico Valverde opened the scoring in the 59th minute, converting Vinícius Júnior’s cross, before Mbappé scored his first Madrid goal nine minutes later from a slick attacking move involving Rodrygo , Vinícius and Jude Bellingham.
“We’re at Real Madrid, we have no limit, I have no limit”, Mbappé told Movistar after the match on Wednesday when he was asked whether 50 goals was a realistic target for him this season. “If I can score 50 goals, it’s 50. But the most important thing is to win and improve as a team, because we’re going to win as a team.”
Mbappé joined Madrid on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain this summer, signing a five-year contract and ending a long-running, high-profile transfer saga.
The France international started the Super Cup game — which pitted the winners of last season’s Champions League, Madrid, against the Europa League winners, Italy’s Atalanta — and played as a central striker, just a week after joining up with his new teammates for preseason training.
