Ghanaian midfielder Ibrahim Sulemana has traveled with Atalanta to Warsaw, Poland, for the UEFA Super Cup match against European giants Real Madrid on August 14, 2024.

In what is anticipated to be a highly-awaited debut for French superstar Kylian Mbappe, the Black Stars midfielder is expected to play a significant role for the Italian team.

Atalanta, who clinched the Europa League title last season by defeating a nearly flawless Bayer Leverkusen side, signed Sulemana from Cagliari during the summer transfer window after an impressive season.

The defensive midfielder might make his competitive debut for the club tonight at the National Stadium in Warsaw.

Sulemana had a solid pre-season, participating in friendlies against Parma and Germany's FC Saint Pauli.

Atalanta will compete in next season's UEFA Champions League following their Europa League triumph in the previous campaign.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid secured their 14th UEFA Champions League title last season by defeating Borussia Dortmund.
