      Real Madrid 2 Atalanta 0: Jude Bellingham wins MOTM after setting up Mbappe for debut goal in UEFA Super Cup cruise

      by

      JUDE BELLINGHAM picked out a pocket of space for Kylian Mbappe to run into and there was only ever going to be one outcome.Here was a ruthless, devastating combination we are certain to see countless times over the next few years.Real Madrid have won the Uefa Super CupCredit: GettyJude Bellingham was named man of the matchCredit: AFPKylian Mbappe scored his first goal in Real Madrid coloursCredit: GettyHaving finally got the move he has wanted for so long, Mbappe ushered in this latest Galacticos era with a goal on his debut to make it 2-0 in the Uefa Super Cup against Atalanta in Warsaw.While the French superstar celebrated with his trademark arms folded routine, Bellingham was on the other side of the pitch, screaming and punching the air with delight.Mind you, to have Mbappe in his team, no wonder he is bloody delighted.Despite having a slow start to the game in Poland, Bellingham really got stuck into the Italians. READ MORE FOOTBALL NEWSHe was responsible for Real’s improvement and while he also had a hand in the first goal scored by Federico Valverde just before the hour, his overall play was impressive and he got a warm round of applause when being replaced near the end.Mbappe’s arrival from Paris Saint-Germain was always going to have a massive impact not just at the Madrid club but also on Bellingham.And the Englishman now looks certain to be back in central midfield, the beating heart of this team, but with a licence to get forward and cause carnage as part of a devastating combo with Mbappe and Vinicius Junior.Bellingham only returned from holiday last week following Euro 2024 where, apart from his stunning equaliser against Slovakia, he was guilty of some seriously under-par performances.Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERSSo the sight of Bellingham once again tearing up La Liga will be even more frustrating to those who saw him toil in Germany.Looking at this Real team, though, they have really got all their glitz and glamour back. SunSport’s Latest Transfer HeadlinesIn the last few years, they have still managed to dominate Europe by finding a way to win, however unspectacular.But now – thanks to Mbappe – they have got a side to match any of their previous all-singing, all-dancing, Galactico teams.Clearly, Bellingham will absolutely love playing with Mbappe. But playing back in a more central position will help him develop his strengths.He was stuck out on the left in the second half of last season by Ancelotti – and then by Southgate for the Euros.Federico Valverde opened the scoring against AtalantaCredit: GettyIt is the first trophy the pair have won togetherCredit: GettyHis numbers in Spain were good. Spectacular, in fact. Bellingham registered 23 goals and 12 assists, although Ancelotti needed hom to deliver those figures because the club were missing the final piece in their jigsaw.In Mbappe, they now have that man. Yet this summer, it has been all change at the Bernabeu as Mbappe has been joined by Brazilian teenager Endrick, while Nacho and Joselu have ended up in Saudi Arabia and Toni Kroos has retired, which leaves a huge hole in midfield.Although in the second half, Bellingham proved that he can be the man who pulls the strings.Ancelotti played with a front three of Vinicius Junior, Mbappe and Rodrygo.Bellingham was centre left, Federico Valverde centre right, with Aurelien Tchouameni in the defensive anchor role.Before the game, Ancelotti said: “Defensively, the system depends on Bellingham and if he is on the level of Valverde or pushing forward, so it can be a 4-3-3 or a 4-2-3-1. “It’s a small difference, but one we see when we don’t have the ball. Vinicius and Mbappé can swap positions, too. Mobility is going to be crucial.”Initially, he did get many chances to get forward. “When he did, Bellingham controlled the ball with his chest but in trying to score, ended up sinking his foot into Atalanta keeper Juan Musso, earning him a yellow card.Yet Bellingham eventually turned on the style. He found Vinicius Junior who skipped past a player and delivered the assist for Valverde.After having one shot blocked and another saved, Bellingham then displayed terrific vision by seeing an area for Mbappe to run into and deliver a killer finish.The former Birmingham star was not the only English export on show last night. Londoner Ademola Lookman, the former England under-21 international who now plays for Nigeria, wrote himself into Atalanta folklore by scoring a hat-trick in the 3-0 Europa League final win over Bayer Leverkusen.Also coming off the Atalanta subs’ bench was Ben Godfrey, a £10million arrival from Everton. After finishing the season on Merseyside, he would not have expected his next game would have been playing against Mbappe in a Uefa final.READ MORE SUN STORIESPrior to a season featuring expanded formats for both the Champions League and the Club World Cup, Real are the team to beat.And over the next nine months, expect Bellingham to add to his medal collection.Kylian Mbappe ‘snaps up £15m mansion in Beckham’s old neighbourhood’ next door to Real Madrid legend and Hollywood starBy Gerard CouzensKYLIAN MBAPPE has reportedly splashed out more than £15million on a mansion in Madrid.The French superstar, whose drawn-out transfer to Real Madrid has finally being confirmed, is said to have finalised the purchase late last month.Respected Spanish daily La Razon says the house he has bought is in the exclusive Madrid suburb of La Moraleja, where David Beckham spent most of his time living when he was in the Spanish capital.And it says his neighbours will include former Real Madrid legend Sergio Ramos and his stunning model wife Pilar Rubio as well as Hollywood star Richard Gere and his Spanish publicist wife Alejandra Silva.La Razon said Mbappe had considered the gated estate of La Finca where Jude Bellingham lives and Cristiano Ronaldo still owns property as an option.But it reported the 25-year-old, who threw an extravagant party for 250 guests at a stylish Italian restaurant a short walk from the Eiffel Tower, ended up opting for La Moraleja a 15-minute drive from Real Madrid’s Valdebebas training complex because it was “more comfortable.”Read more on Mbappe’s property hunt.

      Real Madrid and Barcelona in Trent Alexander-Arnold transfer battle as Liverpool bid to stop star running down contract

      by

      REAL MADRID and Barcelona are watching Trent Alexander-Arnold’s  situation at Liverpool closely.The Liverpool vice-captain, 25, is out of contract next year and has been strongly linked with a move to the European champions.Trent Alexander-Arnold has developed into one of the world’s best right backs but his next step is unclearCredit: EPAReports in Spain say both LaLiga clubs think the England ace is willing to leave following the progress of 21-year-old right-back Conor Bradley.The Reds will offer Alexander-Arnold a new deal that would increase his £180,000-per-week wages — but they are not willing to break the bank.And rumours have swirled that he may leave to join England team-mate Jude Bellingham at the Bernabeu.The pair were also spotted holidaying in Los Angeles together last month, where Alexander-Arnold was seen signing a Madrid shirt for a fan.Read more transfer newsAnfield bosses also have to sort out what to do with Mo Salah, 32, and Virgil van Dijk, 33, who are the only two players at Anfield who earn more than Alexander-Arnold.All three players contracts will expire in June 2025.It still seems unlikely Liverpool would cash in on their academy graduate this summer as it would be a wrench for both parties.But Real and Barca, along with other top clubs, are looking at what might be possible in the next 12 months or so.Most read in FootballJude Bellingham and Trent Alexander Arnold holidayed together in LACredit: InstragramFOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALSHis assist tally and chance creation from right back have led to calls for him to be utilised further forward despite misgivings about that from former boss Jurgen Klopp.Alexander-Arnold is arguably the most complete passer in the game bar Kevin De Bruyne, and has scored 15 goals for Liverpool and provided 58 assists, a record for defenders in the Premier League.SunSport launches weekly Football League feature called ‘What the EFL-!’New boss Arne Slot prefers a more orthodox right back, with Northern Ireland international Bradley mooted as the more natural fit there.Meanwhile, Liverpool legend Michael Owen said Madrid might prove too irresistible of a destination for Alexander-Arnold.Owen told Casino Hawks: “Obviously Real Madrid at the moment are the best team in Europe, they are the biggest team in the world and have that iconic kit and their players… It’s the best stage in Europe.”I had a similar thing at that stage of my career, and I decided that it was an opportunity that I couldn’t pass up. “I don’t know if it’s an opportunity for Trent or a possibility, but he’d have a lot to think about if they came in for him.”Liverpool are the only Premier League club yet to sign a player in the summer transfer window but are expected to bring in a new defensive midfielder.Real Sociedad and Spain star Martin Zubimendi – who has a £51.7m release clause – is a top-priority for new boss Arne Slot.Slot snubbed Spurs, hates defending and has a PASS named after himBy Dan KingLIVERPOOL’S new manager Arne Slot was a good enough player to have a type of pass named after him.But it is as a manager that the Feyenoord head coach is really making his mark.Like another bald Dutchman, Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag, Slot earned his stripes bossing smaller sides before being given a chance at one of the Netherlands’ big three.But the question Liverpool are pondering is whether Slot would make a better fist of running one of the biggest clubs in the world than Ten Hag so far has at Old Trafford.Slot, 45, was certainly easier on the eye as a player than centre back Ten Hag.“The Arne Slot Ball” was something he perfected as a silky No 10 – a back-to-goal, first-time, 180-degree spin and flick behind the defensive line for a winger to run on to deep in the opposition half.Click here to read all about the incoming Liverpool boss.

      Rangers’ Champions League clash thrown into chaos as VAR officials arrested by police for ‘stealing ROAD SIGN’

      THE VAR officials for Rangers’ Champions League clash have reportedly been arrested for stealing a ROAD SIGN just hours before the crucial showdown.The Scottish giants are taking on Dynamo Kyiv in European action tonight in Poland – but there is already controversy before a ball has been kicked.Bartosz Frankowski has been removed as VAR after he ‘stole a road sign’Credit: GettyTomasz Musial has also reportedly been arrestedCredit: GettyExperienced Polish referee Bartosz Frankowski was initially appointed as VAR, with fellow official Tomasz Musial backing him up as assistant VAR.However, both officials have now dramatically been REMOVED from the game after incredible details emerged.TVP Sport are reporting that Frankowski and Musial – and a third individual – were caught allegedly stealing a ROAD SIGN by police in the early hours of the morning.They’re reporting that both officials were arrested at 1.43am for ‘destroying road infrastructure.’The men, who are reported as being intoxicated, were then taken to a sobering-up centre – which will cost them money as police charge for use.This is somewhere used by many places in Europe when the crime is deemed not serious enough to be banged up in a cell.Senior Superintendent Kamil Golebiowski said: “At around 1:40am we received a report of three men carrying a road sign down the street.”Police officers were dispatched to the scene. All of the men were intoxicated and had over 1.5 per milligrams of alcohol in their blood. They were taken to a sobering-up centre.” Most read in Champions LeagueBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSTVP say they approached the head of Polish refereeing for a comment, but he was unaware of the situation and has not made comment.However, both officials have been removed by Uefa for the match.Lionel Messi’s £9million Ibiza mansion vandalised by climate activists as they claim home is ‘illegal’ As always for Uefa matches, the refereeing team was confirmed 48 hours before the match.On Sunday night, Lithuanian referee Donatas Rumsas was confirmed to be leading the officials.Polish officials Frankowski and Musial were listed as his VAR officials.However, neither Frankowski or Musial are listed as part of the officiating team any longer.Instead, fellow top flight Polish ref Tomasz Kwiatkowski is now the VAR, with Pawel Malec his AVAR.Frankowski, 37, is one of the top referees in Poland an experienced international referee.Fifa-listed for ten years, he was an official at both Euro 2020 and Euro 2024 – acting as VAR in the latter.WHAT IS A ‘SOBERING-UP CENTRE?POLICE will usually try to return a drunk person home if they are wandering in the streets, as it is not an offence.But if some kind of offence HAS been committed, then law enforcement have the option to take people to a ‘sobering-up centre’ – sometimes known in Europe as a ‘drunk-tank’.In Poland, there are 52 cities that use these, admitting over 300,000 a year.While it may save people from a night in the cells, those admitted have to PAY for attending this centre.And just so those who go there know they’re in trouble, the police will charge them a rate as high as the most expensive hotel in the city.Locals dub these the ‘most expensive hotel in town’.
