Madrid won the Champions League by beating Borussia Dortmund 2-1 in June to♋ set up a meeting with Europa Leꦕague winners Atalanta in Warsaw.

Ancelotti had previously said after a pre-season friendly that he planned on using players who had won the troph🐻y for the Super Cup match.

Mbappe joined as a free agent in June and has now started training with the team following his ex✃tended break due to France's involvement in Euro 2024.

And though Ancelotti remained tight-lipped about how Mbappe could be used, he did not rule out a first appearance for the Frenchman♍ in a Madrid shirt.

"Mbappe has arrived well, just 🎶like the other players who joined last week," Ancelotti said in his pre🔯ss conference on Tuesday.

"We haven't had much time to train, but we are doing very welﷺl, and Kylian has also arrived in good shape. He is adapting very🌠 well. Obviously, everyone who is here can play tomorrow."

Madrid are aiming to win the Super Cup for a record sixth time, leapfrogging Barcelona and AC Milan, who h𓃲ave also both♔ won five.

They are also chasing history once again this season💧 with seven titl🐽es available for the first time due to FIFA's new Intercontinental Cup.

"As always, we're st🌺arting the season with all the excitemenಌt and desire," Ancelotti added.

"It's ꧅the first title of a season that is going to be very demanding but can also be very successful. We want to start it well. We are aware of the difficulties, but ☂I see the team in good shape, motivated to play a great game."
