Milan Wins Italian Super Cup in Dramatic Comeback Under New Coach Sérgio Conceição

Sérgio Conceição secures his first trophy as AC Milan manager just one week after taking charge, leading the team to two thrilling comeback victories.

• AC Milan defeated Inter Milan 3-2 in the Italian Super Cup final after overturning a two-goal deficit in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
• Rafael Leão played a pivotal role off the bench, contributing to all three Milan goals scored by Theo Hernández, Christian Pulisic, and Tammy Abraham.
• Sérgio Conceição, hired just a week ago to replace Paulo Fonseca, also led Milan to a comeback win over Juventus in the semifinals of the tournament.
• The victory marks Milan's first trophy since their 2022 Serie A title and their first Super Cup triumph since 2016, breaking Inter’s dominance in recent derby clashes.
• Despite the win, Milan remains eighth in Serie A, with Conceição emphasizing the need for consistency as they prepare for their next league match against Cagliari.
