"Casting minds back to the beginning of 2025, Milan had a bit of a false dawn as they won their first two games under Sergio Conceicao to lift the Supercoppa. Not only that, but they beat Juventus in the semi-final and Inter in the final - both comeback wins - to hoist the trophy. It was the 50th trophy in the club's history too and in the season that they celebrated their 125th anniversary."
"In addition to wanting to give Allegri his first real success in his second stint, Milan have an added motivation to use the Super Cup as a launching pad. They dropped points against Sassuolo at the weekend and surrendered top spot in the process, so a response is needed against some direct rivals. In terms of team news, Allegri will once again have a squad that is down to the bare bones to pick from."
AC Milan begin the defence of their Supercoppa Italiana crown against Napoli in Riyadh on Thursday, December 18 at Al-Awwal Park with kickoff at 20:00 CET. Milan previously lifted the trophy earlier this year after winning two games under Sergio Conceicao, beating Juventus in the semi-final and Inter in the final, securing the club's 50th trophy during its 125th anniversary season. Allegri emphasised a need for the team to improve in decisive moments and has an immediate opportunity to do so. The squad is depleted: Matteo Gabbia missed the trip after hyper-extending his knee and Santiago Gimenez remained behind while recovering from an ankle injury. A response is required after dropping points against Sassuolo and surrendering top spot.
