Milan's Sensation: Furious comeback in the Supercup against Inter!

AC Milan won the Italian Super Cup on January 6, 2025. In a thrilling final that took place at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, coach Sergio Conceição's team defeated FC Internazionale 3-2 after initially falling behind 0-2.

The goals for Inter Milan were scored by Lautaro Martinez in the 45th minute and Mehdi Taremi immediately after the restart in the 46th minute. After the break, however, Milan turned up the heat: Theo Hernandez reduced the deficit in the 52nd minute, Christian Pulisic equalized in the 80th minute and Tammy Abraham scored the decisive goal in added time (90+3).

Key influences and injured players

Rafael Leao, who came on as a substitute in the second half, had a significant influence on Milan's victory and was involved in all three goals. Milan had previously won the semi-final against Juventus 2-1, while Inter beat Atalanta 2-0 in the semi-final. Inter were missing several injured players, including Marcus Thuram and Benjamin Pavard. Hakan Calhanoglu also had to be substituted injured in the 35th minute.

The Milan team had come under pressure in Serie A in recent weeks and slipped to eighth place, making the Super Cup win all the more important as it gives hope of turning the season around. The new coach Sergio Conceição seems to have already given the first positive impulses with this performance, at the latest after the successful comeback against the local rivals.

The game was officiated by referee Sozza and provided fans with a dramatic duel that will remain in the memory. Milan sent a strong signal with this victory and could potentially lay the foundation for a successful second half of the season.
