With Bellingham assisting Mbappe in the European Super Cup, people can expect a new pairing at Real Madrid.

In the European Super Cup, it was no surprise that Real Madrid easily defeated Atalanta with a score of 2-0. The goals were scored by Valverde and especially by new signing Mbappe – the player who scored in his first official match for Real Madrid.

Bellingham assisted Mbappe and he also praised his new teammate, according to Madrid Universal: “I expected Mbappe to score, of course. He is a player who can write his own history. He always knows how to help the team better and today was the same. It was great to contribute to his first goal and I hope I can assist many more.

In addition to scoring, Bellingham also appreciates the other aspects that Mbappe brings to Real Madrid. He continued: “It’s unbelievable. I thought about it before and now I’m playing with him. Mbappe is a leader on the pitch, with great communication.

Kylian should have scored more goals. He’s brilliant with his technical quality and elegance in the way he plays. He’s a great team-mate. He works for the team, like the other players.”

Mbappe’s presence also affected Bellingham somewhat, as he no longer plays close to goal, but has to take on the central midfield position. This has led many to worry that the former Dortmund star will not be able to score as many goals as last season.

The England international is not worried: “I don’t mind the position I play. I’m not really a striker. I drop a little bit to the left and move around there. I know it’s easier to score goals if I play near the penalty area, but the happiness is helping the team.”
