Real had a productive last season. Madrid triumphed in the Primera Division, finishing ten points ahead of their nearest rivals, won the Spanish Super Cup, and the cherry on the creamy cake was winning the Champions League. The only trophy they could not win was the Cup of the country, where they flew from Atletico already in the 1/8 finals. Still, that game took place immediately after the return of the "galacticos" from Saudi Arabia. In the off-season, the capital club made the already posh squad stronger by signing Kylian Mbappe and Andrika. Real Madrid played four friendlies in the summer, in which they beat Albacete 3:0, lost to AC Milan and Barcelona 0:1 and 1:2, respectively, and then beat Chelsea 2:0.

Atalanta also has every reason to be satisfied with the results of the past season. In Serie A, Gian Piero Gasperini's men solved the main task of getting a Champions League pass, finishing in fourth place in the standings. The Bergamaschi also performed well in the Italian Cup, reaching the final, where they lost to Juventus 0:1. they also won the Europa League, defeating Bayer 3:0 in the decisive game. This trophy was the first for the Black and Blues on the international stage. In the off-season, the Italians sold Hans Hatebur and Alexei Miranchuk, while Ben Godfrey, Nicolo Zagnolo, and Mateo Retegui are worth mentioning among the acquisitions. In the summer, Atalanta drew 2:2 with AZ and also lost to Parma and St Pauli 1:4 and 0:3, respectively.

Real is the most titled club in the history of the UEFA Super Cup. Previously, they had participated in the competition eight times: they won five times and lost three times. It is important to note that two defeats out of three were allowed at the turn of the XX and XXI centuries, but in the last five games, they won four times. Now Carlo Ancelotti's men are unqualified favorites. Madrid has a balanced and well-played squad, and they have much experience in such high-profile battles. Bergamaschi cannot boast of such a thing. On the contrary, they have a serious staff turnover every year, making each season's debut very difficult for them.
