Christian Pulisic kicked off 2024 in style, helping AC Milan secure the Supercoppa Italiana title with a 3-2 victory over Inter Milan. The final, held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, also marked the first trophy for new head coach Sergio Conceicao. Pulisic scored Milan’s second goal and played a full match, while Yunus Musah also featured before being subbed off late.
Looking ahead, Serie A has confirmed that the Supercoppa will once again take place in Saudi Arabia in 2026. Thanks to their run to the Coppa Italia final, both Milan and Bologna have already locked in their spots for the four-team competition. They’ll be joined by the Serie A champion and runner-up, currently projected to be Napoli and Inter.
This will be Milan’s 14th appearance in the Supercoppa, with the Rossoneri holding eight titles so far—second only to Juventus. It also continues a growing trend of hosting the tournament abroad, especially in the Middle East, which has staged the final six times in the past eight years.
Before Milan can dream of another Supercoppa triumph, the focus shifts to a crucial Coppa Italia final on May 14. A win could be their clearest path back to European competition after a disappointing Serie A campaign that has left them sitting in ninth, far from qualification spots. With their UEFA Champions League hopes dashed by Feyenoord earlier this year, Milan’s season now hangs on one remaining shot at redemption.
