AC Milan staged a thrilling comeback to defeat Juventus 2-1 on Friday, securing their spot in the 2025 EA SPORTS FC Supercup final.
The win sets the stage for a highly anticipated Derby della Madonnina clash against Inter Milan in the final on Monday.
Juventus took the lead in the 21st minute through Kenan Yıldız, who capitalized on defensive lapses by Theo Hernandez to fire past Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan.
However, Milan responded in the second half with renewed energy, transforming the dynamic of the match.
Christian Pulisic drew Milan level from the penalty spot in the 71st minute, coolly converting after Juventus conceded a clumsy foul in the box.
The pressure intensified for Juventus as Milan continued to push forward.
Just four minutes after Pulisic’s equalizer, Federico Gatti inadvertently deflected the ball into his own net, sealing Milan’s comeback.
The win marks a promising start for new Milan head coach Sérgio Conceição, whose halftime adjustments proved decisive.
Milan will now aim to lift the trophy for the eighth time in their history when they face Inter Milan in the final on Monday at Al-Awwal Park in Riyadh.
