AC Milan pulled off a remarkable comeback in the Supercoppa Italiana final tonight, coming from two goals behind to beat Inter 3-2.
Inter went two up as Lautaro Martinez and Mehdi Taremi scored either side of the half-time whistle, and it looked like they were heading for a fourth straight Super Cup win.
However, Milan kept fighting just like against Juventus, and roared back. Theo Hernandez scored with a free-kick to halve the deficit, Christian Pulisic equalised with a sweet strike and Tammy Abraham won it in the dying moments.
Amid jubilant scenes on the field, the players were handed their medals for winning the competition and then gathered on stage to lift the trophy, which Mike Maignan and Davide Calabria – the two players to wear the armband tonight – did together.
I feel like Sommer help us in the fist 2 goals, he should have done better.
Lucky us, not like Juve luck but still
How can you say that? The first goal, Martinez was clearly in front of Sommer and as such prevented from seeing the ball early. Moreover, credit should be given to Thoe, for bending the ball so well. The Second goal Bastoni was blind sight by Pulisic movement, he didn’t see Pulisic run up until he had taken the ball and any contact from Bastoni to Pulisic would be a penalty. And the strike from Pulisic was so perfect that Sommer and any other goalkeeper had no chance of keeping out. Don’t downplay a well deserved victory from the guys. They were given no gift.
Pulisic has shown this new ability to sneak up from behind defenders and steal the ball from them.
That was how he scored the first goal against Inter earlier this season.
Same thing with the PK (which the replays somehow managed to not get a good closeup of). He snuck up behind Locatelli and took the ball away, and Locatelli ended up fouling him.
Emerson really el royale, celebrating with his phone on his hand.
he wasnt the only one, was he…
Tomori also took selfie, but emerson was most excited with his phone.
The utter dejection on the Sinter player’s faces was the best part.
Any day anytime, it’s always priceless
Very classy of Conceição to go compliment Inter’s players. I admire him more and more.
Calabria lifting his first trophy as capitano. Renes this man’s contract asap
Renew*
We now have 50 trophies; Inter has 43.
That is good, we need second star tho’
Strange! Inzaghi avoided a handshake with Theo and Rafa on purpose.
Congrats to the boys.
They deserve it Forza Rossoneri
Forza Diavolo
Inter down twice this season. Forza milan
