Milan has been reborn. Sergio Conceição celebrated his first title as Milan coach in his second game, starring against Inter in an even more incredible comeback than the one experienced against Juve. The 2-3 is the eighth Super Cup for the Rossoneri, who equal their 'cousins' in the list of winners, and gives an incredible emotional boost after very difficult months.
The start of the match was even, with two teams that brought intensity and good tactical organization to Al Awwal Park. Conceição knew how to build effective pressure, which left few spaces for the Nerazzurri, and sought to do damage with the arrivals of Theo on one side and Jiménez on the other.. After two chances for Reijnders, Inzaghi's men responded with a whip from Dimarco neutralized by Maignan and, shortly after, they lost one of their key men, Calhanoglu, replaced by Asllani due to muscle discomfort.
That's how we reached the 45th minute, and in the seven minutes before and after the break, everything happened. Lautarojust before returning to the locker room, He opened the scoring by receiving a pass from Taremi in the area and striking Maignan with his left foot.. At the beginning of the second half, the Nerazzurri seemed to kill the game with the Iranian striker, who scored his first goal from a play of the year, controlling a long pass from De Vrij and beating the rival goalkeeper in one-on-one play.
Conceiçao's Milanhowever, He was reborn in his most difficult moment, like in the semifinal. Lion He took the field in the 51st minute and in his first action forced a free kick that Theo converted into 1-2 in the 53rd minute. That goal opened an uncertain phase of the match, with the Interisti wasting several chances to make it 3-1 and the Rossoneri almost equalizing (especially with Reijnders). Until, in '81 Theo, once again, overflowed from the left and found Pulisic in the areawho controlled the ball with class and beat Sommer.
In case of a tie, it would have gone directly to penalties, but Milan did not settle and, in the 94th minute, completed an unforgettable comeback with Abrahamwho pushed the ball into the empty goal after a vertical pass from Pulisic and another great play from Leao.
The Rossoneri have been reborn, and they did so at the hands of Leao and Theo, those 'punished' by Fonsecaand his new coach, who in just one week knocked down Juventus, Inter and already won his first title, as did Morata, who played the entire game. Impossible to start better.
