History will record that Kylian Mbappé played his first match for Real Madrid against an Italian club and even scored a goal. The victim? Atalanta, beaten 2-0 last night in the European Supercup. The Italian press spied on the former PSG striker’s match.

La Gazzetta dello Sport gave him a score of 7: “The last time he played for Los Blancos, he was 12 and had the name Kylian on his shirt. Standing ovation after his debut goal. How beautiful it is to make your dreams come true. Corriere della sera gives him a 6.5: “He was expected to be like the last opus of Alien, the beginning is laborious and there are few special effects. He caught fire after the break, the first goal of his Madrid saga. Same note for Tuttosport: “He was the most eagerly awaited but did nothing special. He does the job in a match worth a trophy.”
