Air Canada travellers share worries and frustrations ahead of possible pilot strike
Here's what customers had to say about their travel plans ahead of a potential Air Canada pilot strike.
A goal and a trophy. How about that for a debut by Kylian Mbappé for Real Madrid?
The France captain pulled on the famous white jersey of the Spanish champions for the first time in a competitive match and marked the occasion with the second goal in a 2-0 win over Atalanta in the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday.
Mbappé, who started and played 82 minutes at the National Stadium in Warsaw, met a pass from Jude Bellingham across the area with a shot into the top corner in the 68th minute.
After putting both arms across his chest for his trademark celebration, he was congratulated by Vinícius Júnior and Rodrygo, the other members of Madrid’s star-studded strike force that might be sending tremors around European soccer heading into the new season.
Federico Valverde tapped home a cross from Vinícius in the 59th to set Madrid on its way to a record sixth victory in the Super Cup, the annual match between the Champions League winners (Madrid) and the Europa League champions (Atalanta).
Madrid is used to holding records – no team has more European Cup titles than its 15 – and owning the world’s best players.
Mbappé certainly belongs in that category and it was a strong start to life at the world's top soccer club, one he dreamt of playing for as a kid.
Now he is Madrid's No. 9, starting the Super Cup as the team's central striker — to limited success — before moving out wide for the second half.
Vinícius and Bellingham, stars of Madrid's run to the Champions League and La Liga titles last season, were the game's standout players, however, as Carlo Ancelotti's team eventually overpowered Atalanta after an even first half that saw both sides hit the crossbar.
Madrid defender Eder Militao deflected a cross onto his own bar before Rodrygo fired in a shot just before halftime that struck the top of the bar.
Mbappé wowed the crowd with a couple of tricks and spins but didn't have too much of an impact in the first half.
Madrid was dominant after the break, with Vinícius operating more down the middle. It might take a while for Ancelotti to find the ideal formula up front — Brazil striker Endrick, a summer signing like Mbappé, didn't even come off the bench for the match — but it's an enviable dilemma for the Italian coach.
