The 2024-2025 football season has officially begun with the start of the transfer market and the clubs' summer training camps. This will be the most intense international season ever, with the revamped Champions League format and the new Club World Cup.
The intercontinental tournament, relaunched by FIFA, will take place in the United States from mid-June to mid-July and will feature two Italian teams, Inter and Juventus. The international season, however, will kick off with the UEFA Super Cup, which pits the reigning European champions against the winners of the last Europa League.
In Warsaw, on August 14 at 9:00 PM, Gian Piero Gasperini's Atalanta will face Carlo Ancelotti's Real Madrid in Kylian Mbappé's official debut for the Spanish giants. Real Madrid will naturally be the favorites, but the Bergamo club aims to continue dreaming and surprising everyone. After dominating Xabi Alonso's formidable Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League final, Lookman and his teammates will seek another historic achievement against the new Galacticos: Vinicius, Bellingham, and Mbappé. The match is set for Wednesday, August 14, with the kick-off at 9:00 PM at the Narodowy Stadium in Warsaw.
