(ANSA) - ROME, AUG 13 - Carlo Ancelotti is a "winner and a model", Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini told a press conference ahead of Wednesday night's European SuperCup Final against Real Madrid.
The 15-time Champions League winners holders Los Blancos are favourite to lift the title against the Europa League champs and move ahead of AC Milan and Barcelona in the SuperCup winning standings, on a record six wins.
Gasperini added that his new signing from Genoa, Italy striker Mateo Retegui, was "super ready" for the clash in Warsaw.
The match is being keenly watched for the debut of French superstar Kylian Mbappé, signed on a free transfer by Real from PSG in the summer.
