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.
