The UEFA Super Cup: Real Madrid, a club that has carved its image as serial winners, will take on Atalanta in the UEFA Super Cup on Thursday (IST) at the National Stadium in Warsaw, Poland with the hopes of pulling clear of AC Milan and rivals FC Barcelona as the record winners of the competition. All three clubs currently have five titles each.

The UEFA Super Cup is an annual fixture contested by the reigning champions of the Champions League and the Europa League, devised by Dutch reporter Anton Witkamp to decide definitively the top club side in Europe.

The European Cup/Champions League holders have always been involved, facing the holders of either the European/UEFA Cup Winners' Cup (1973–99) or the UEFA Cup/Europa League (2000- present)
