French soccer star Kylian Mbappe was used to dominating his home league, winning five of the last six Ligue One titles with Paris-Saint Germain.
Now he's opened his new tab with Spanish giants Real Madrid, scoring and lifting silverware in his debut match for the club.
Mbappe scored a 68th-minute screamer from near the penalty spot during Wednesday's UEFA Super Cup match against Italian side Atalanta, doubling Madrid's lead.

The trophy match, hosted in Warsaw, Poland this year, pits the winners of UEFA's Champions League and Europa League against one another to kick off the new European season.
Mbappe's strike clinched Madrid's 2-0 victory over Atalanta, helping it claim its record sixth Super Cup.
The 25-year-old signed with his favorite boyhood club in June, joining the record 15-time Champions League winners on a free transfer.
Now Madrid appears to have an even stronger super team than before, boasting the talents of Rodrygo, Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham up front - all assisting on Mbappe's first tally.

All of them touching the ball to build Kylian’s first goal as Real Madrid player.
The Frenchman scored 44 goals in all competitions with Paris-Saint Germain last season and now appears to be off to another hot start.
Real Madrid play its first Spanish La Liga match on Sunday against Mallorca.
