The Rossoneri club won the prestigious trophy and also a good amount of money: here are the exact figures.
Sergio Conceicao began his adventure on the Milan bench as best he could. In the first two matches he faced and defeated historical rivals Juventus and Inter Milan, winning the Italian Super Cup. The trip to Saudi Arabia was definitely positive, bringing a trophy back to Via Aldo Rossi some two and a half years after the last one (the Scudetto won under Stefano Pioli).

For the Rossoneri, it was also about taking revenge from the Italian Super Cup derby they lost 3-0, also in Riyadh, in January 2023. And it is the first trophy obtained since there is RedBird Capital Partners as the company that owns Milan. Gerry Cardinale did not fly to Saudi Arabia to watch the matches, however, he still sent a message to the team to congratulate them on their achievement. Now it is important that in the league the Rossoneri manage to grind out points to get closer to the Champions League zone, finishing fourth is the minimum goal and now it is 8 points away (with 2 games to make up).

Milan had not won the Italian Super Cup since December 2016, when in Doha, Qatar, they got the better of Juve on penalty kicks. Vincenzo Montella was on the bench then and it was Silvio Berlusconi’s last months as owner of the club. A little more than eight years later, the Rossoneri have returned to win the trophy and also won themselves a decent haul in financial terms.

The prize money for participating in the competition was 8 million euros for whoever came in to win the Italian Super Cup. There are then an additional 1.5 million tied to TV rights and sponsors, and another 1.5 million is provided for a friendly to be played against a team from the Saudi Pro League. A total of 11 million goes into the Rossoneri coffers. The trip to Saudi Arabia was fruitful for several reasons, not just sporting ones.
Obviously, the hope is that the triumph against Inter Milan will help it to finally get unstuck and change the face of its season, particularly in the league. Qualifying for the next Champions League is crucial both for several reasons. It will be interesting to see if Conceicao can provide a total shakeup, preventing what happened in the Italian Super Cup from being a momentary episode.
