Marten de Roon had the 1st chance to score for Atalanta in the 25th minute, but the ball deflected and crashed against the crossbar. Only 2 minutes later, the Italian team was close to scoring again as Ederson made a fantastic long-range shot, but the ball went wide of the right post.
The 1st big chance for Real Madrid came in the extra time of the 1st half when Vini assisted Rodrygo inside the penalty area, but the Brazilian hit the crossbar.
However, in the 2nd half, the Royal Club showed that they are the better team as Federico Valverde netted the opening goal in the 59th minute after Vini Jr.’s assist as Kylian Mbappe doubled the result in his debut in the 68th minute as he received a fantastic pass inside the penalty area from Jude Bellingham and the French superstar scored.
