The Milan derby will take place in the heart of the middle east, in the bustling capital city of Riyadh in Saudi Arabia. The city rivals will compete for the Supercoppa title during this midweek matchup.
The Supercoppa competition, which sees the reigning Serie A champions take on the current Coppa Italia winners, presents an opportunity for the two-Milan-based clubs to claim the first trophy of their 2022/23 season.
The only previous Milan derby in the Supercopa competition came back in all the way in 2011 when AC Milan won 2-1 with goals from Ibrahimovic and Kevin-Prince Boateng for AC Milan and Wesley Sneijder’s strike for the Nerazzuri.
Inter is the current champion of this competition which they won last year against bitter rivals Juventus. Alexis Sanchez proved to be the clutch man for Inter as he scored in the dying minutes to give Nerazzuri the title.
Both clubs are fighting hard to chase the summit of Serie A this season. Inter is having a bit of a turbulent season and is currently sitting in the 4th place. The rivals have not enjoyed a fruitful season either as they are trailing league leaders Napoli by 9 points.
