Real Madrid
Only missing experienced defender David Alaba amid his lengthy ACL recovery, Real Madrid's starting XI in Warsaw should be headlined by the inclusion of Mbappe, who is now fully integrated with the group following his post-Euro 2024 holiday.
Finalists Carvajal and Jude Bellingham should also be present in a near full-strength lineup from Ancelotti, who has talked up the fledgling Endrick and Arda Guler ahead of the UEFA Super Cup but should not consider them for starts here.
Mbappe's arrival has led to speculation surrounding the futures of Brazilian wing wizards Rodrygo and Vinicius Junior, the latter of whom is said to have turned down a mammoth Saudi Pro League offer, but both are expected to support their French colleague in midweek.
Real Madrid possible starting lineup:
Courtois; Carvajal, Rudiger, Militao, Mendy; Valverde, Tchouameni, Bellingham; Rodrygo, Mbappe, Vinicius Junior
Atalanta
Atalanta have made a couple of marquee attacking signings of their own - concluding a permanent deal for Charles De Ketelaere and capturing Mateo Retegui from Genoa - while also adding Ben Godfrey, Nicolo Zaniolo and Ibrahim Sulemana to their ranks.
Some members of the old guard - Hans Hateboer, Pierluigi Gollini, Duvan Zapata and Aleksei Miranchuk - have made way for Gasperini's new arrivals, and Retegui could very well make his competitive debut up top, as Gianluca Scamacca will be out for months with an ACL injury.
Giorgio Scalvini is also on the long road to rehabilitation from a similar problem but should be back before the end of the calendar year, while midfield maestro Ederson remains at the Gewiss Stadium despite links with a few Premier League powerhouses.
However, Netherlands international Teun Koopmeiners - wanted by Juventus and Liverpool - is confirmed to have handed in a transfer request and should not be involved in the Super Cup.
Atalanta BC possible starting lineup:
Musso; Djimsiti, Hien, Kolasinac; Zappacosta, Pasalic, Ederson, Ruggeri; Lookman, De Ketelaere; Retegui
Prediction: Real Madrid 3-1 Atalanta BC
