The UEFA Super Cup match takes place on Wednesday (August 14), and the annual European men's football's curtain-raiser sees last season's Champions League and Europa League winners playing in a one-off tie.
La Liga champions Real Madrid, who won a record-extending 15th Champions League title last time out, have welcomed former Paris Saint-Germain superstar Kylian Mbappé to a squad which is already stacked with some of the world's finest players including Jude Bellingham and Vinícius Júnior.
However, Real's coach Carlo Ancelotti isn't allowing himself to get too complacent about their opponents, Europa League title-holders Atalanta. Speaking to UEFA's official website, he described the Serie A side as "a very dangerous team that plays in a special and unique way".
Can Real edge ahead of Barcelona and AC Milan with a record-breaking sixth Super Cup, or will Atalanta win the trophy for the first time? Here's how you can tune in.
