The match between the European champions and the Europa League winners is a tradition that lasts for quite some time. It basically announces the start of the football season on the continent. This time, we have Real Madrid and Atalanta battling for the inaugural trophy of the season in the capital of Poland, Warsaw. It’s no wonder Real is the favorite here, but so many times in the past we’ve seen the Europa League winners end up on the winning side.

Real Madrid vs. Atalanta Preview

Real Madrid

Real played a few friendlies, most of them on the US tour. They lost to AC Milan, 0-1, and Barcelona, 1-2, before beating Chelsea, 2-1, to improve their overall impression.

Though, we need to say that Los Blancos played with a mixed lineup and that the majority of their top stars rested following their exhausting national team campaigns, so this isn’t a true reflection of Real’s current power and shape.

We expect to see all of the players at Carlo Ancelotti’s disposal for this game, which means that the UCL champions are going to play at a much higher level. There aren’t too many changes on their roster, with a few role players leaving the team, but on the other side, several big-time talents, like Endrick, landed at Bernabeu.

Atalanta

Following the win of their first international trophy, Atalanta changed its team, adding more depth and more high-quality players. Some veterans and faces who were in Bergamo for a long time, like Hans Hateboer, Aleksei Miranchuk, or Duvan Zapata, are gone, but Mateo Retegui, Ibrahim Sulemana, and others came to Gewiss.

La Dea had three meetings during the test period, the most recent being against St. Pauli on Friday. Meanwhile, the previous two were against AZ Alkmaar, 2-2, and vs. Parma, which they lost 4-2.

The team from Bergamo plays attractive football and likes to attack no matter the rivals. We’ve seen that in the Europa League finals when they shocked Leverkusen and beat them with their own weapon.
