The 2025 Italian Supercup begins today with the first semifinal between Napoli, the reigning Serie A champions, and Milan, last season’s Coppa Italia finalist. The match carries a strong taste of the league title, as both teams are in the race (alongside Inter) to claim the Scudetto this season.
Tonight, however, the league does not matter, only the Supercup does. The prize is a spot in the final, the first of the season. Massimiliano Allegri and Antonio Conte know each other well and are reportedly working on every detail to leave nothing to chance, as both are coaches who are rarely satisfied with victory, despite having won a few Supercups in their careers. Regarding tonight’s Milan-Napoli clash, Il Corriere dello Sport ran the headline: "Sheikh-level stuff," referring to the fact that the match is being played in Saudi Arabia.
