Mon Jan 06 18:30:00 UTC 2025: ## Derby della Madonnina Decides Supercoppa Italiana in Riyadh

**Riyadh, Saudi Arabia** – Inter Milan and AC Milan clash tonight in the Supercoppa Italiana final, a Derby della Madonnina showdown taking place at the Al-Awwal Park in Riyadh (19:00 GMT). Inter, aiming for an unprecedented fourth consecutive Supercoppa title, will field a starting XI featuring Mehdi Taremi alongside Lautaro Martinez up front, with Hakan Calhanoglu also starting. The Nerazzurri are without several key players due to injury, including Marcus Thuram and Francesco Acerbi.

Milan, under new coach Sergio Conceicao, will counter with a starting lineup including Christian Pulisic, Alvaro Morata, and Yunus Musah. Star player Rafael Leao is only fit enough for the bench. The Rossoneri also have several injury concerns, notably missing Matteo Gabbia, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Noah Okafor, Samuel Chukwueze, and Alessandro Florenzi.

The match will be decided after 90 minutes; no extra time will be played, with a penalty shootout determining the winner in case of a draw. Inter will be seeking revenge after their only Serie A defeat this season, a 2-1 loss to Milan in September, which snapped a six-game winning streak against their rivals. However, Inter holds a recent upper hand, having triumphed 3-0 over Milan in last year’s Supercoppa final. The match will be live blogged for all the action.
