"AC Milan will be making the trip home early from Saudi Arabia after losing their Supercoppa Italiana semi-final to Napoli on Thursday night. Milan went into the competition with the hopes of defending the trophy that they lifted back in January. However, goals from David Neres before the break and Rasmus Hojlund just after the hour mark condemned the Rossoneri to an early journey home in an eventual 2-0 defeat."
"La Gazzetta dello Sport: "Damn, what a Napoli. Conte reaches the final, Milan have only the league left. Hojlund devastating, De Winter overwhelmed: 2-0. Allegri's disappointment: 'Let's think about getting into the Champions League'." Corriere dello Sport: "Conte goes through. Neres and Hojlund, a great night. The Italian champions play the perfect game: a goal in each half and plenty of control. Sparks fly between Antonio and Allegri. The lion Rasmus makes the difference.""
