It's difficult to start your year better than by winning a trophy… That's, in any case, what Juventus and AC Milan, facing each other this Friday in the semi-final of the Italian Super Cup, must say. Organized in Saudi Arabia for the fifth time, this mini-tournament – the other semi-final of which pits Inter against Atalanta – will indeed crown its champion on Monday, before Serie A resumes in earnest.
On paper, the poster is attractive: the two clubs do not play the leading roles in the championship, with a 6th place for the Turinese and an 8th place for the Milanese, and will perhaps not have such a good opportunity to enhance their impressive record in 2025… On the Juve side, the performance of Khéphren Thuram will be closely scrutinized: the Frenchman scored his first goals with the club last Sunday, scoring a double against Fiorentina (2-2). AC Milan has a new coach in the person of Sergio Conceiçao, taking over from his compatriot Paulo Fonseca, who was fired last Sunday.
The semi-final of the Italian Super Cup between Juventus and AC Milan is scheduled for this Friday, January 3 at 8 p.m. It will be broadcast on the L’Équipe channel.
