TEAM NEWS
The big news for tonight’s match is the highly anticipated competitive debut of Kylian Mbappe for Madrid. The French forward will lead the line with support from the talented trio of Vinicius, Rodrygo, and Bellingham. This attacking lineup is sure to cause problems for the opposition.
Unfortunately, Eduardo Camavinga will be absent from the squad due to an injury sustained during Tuesday’s training session. This is a blow for Madrid, as Camavinga has been an impressive addition to the team. He joins David Alaba on the sidelines, who has been out with a long-term injury.
On the other side, Atalanta has had a busy transfer window, with several key players leaving the club. Hans Hateboer, Duvan Zapata, and Aleksei Miranchuk have all departed, leaving gaps in the squad. However, they have made some new signings, including De Ketelaere, who has had his loan move made permanent. He will start tonight’s match alongside Lookman, who was the hero of the Europa League final with a hat-trick. There is also the possibility of Retegui, Sulemana, and Godfrey making their debuts from the bench.
Unfortunately for Atalanta, they will be without Teun Koopmeiners, who is expected to move to Juventus. Additionally, Gianluca Scamacca and Giorgio Scalvini are sidelined due to injuries. These absences will surely be felt by the team.
Overall, both teams have some key players missing, but there is still plenty of talent on display. It will be interesting to see how Mbappe performs in his first competitive match for Madrid and how Atalanta copes with the departures and injuries.
