AC Milan won the Italian Super Cup last night in Riyadh, winning 3-2 against their sworn enemy, Inter Milan. Trailing 2-0 in the 47th minute, the Rossoneri completely turned the game around with Théo Hernandez's free kick in the 52nd minute for 2-1, Christian Pulisic's equalizing goal in the 80th and the delivery at 90+3 with the goal of Tammy Abraham. A completely crazy match and a first title for Sergio Conceição, who arrived at the club on December 30. A performance that delighted Zlatan Ibrahimovic, AC Milan legend and today special advisor to owner Gerry Cardinale, with a powerful speech in the locker room after the trophy presentation.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic's powerful speech!
“We achieved one of our goals and you had the reaction we expected. Before speaking, I would like to congratulate the coach and his staff who have done a great job in a few days. Congratulations to the players too. You sweated to win, you sacrificed, you went hungry. When a team has this desire to win, it's difficult to beat them. It's difficult guys. You showed it today. At the start of the season, I told you: everything depends on us, because it's all in your head. You showed it today. Now we're going to come back to Italy, so let's bring that mentality and take points to get where we need to be. I would also like to congratulate all the team members here. It's up to you to play, even if you're not famous and you're not on the field. But you are important, like everyone else on the field. Guys, it's AC Milan. We play for these trophies. If you want to make AC Milan history, you have to win titles. 1,2,3, Forza Milan. »
