A goal by Rasmus Højlund helped Napoli bounce back from consecutive defeats to book a place in the Italian Supercoppa final with a 2-0 victory over AC Milan. Serie A champions Napoli had been rocked by surprise losses to Benfica and Udinese before they arrived in Riyadh for another edition of the mid-season tournament.

Napoli lost 1-0 to Udinese away from home over the weekend, as Jurgen Ekkelenkamp scored in the 73rd minute. Napoli is third in the Serie A table with 31 points and has a record of 10 wins, one draw, and four losses after 15 league matches.

The 2025 Supercoppa Italiana is taking place this week in Saudi Arabia as the four best teams of the 2024-25 season will meet in a final four format starting from Thursday while the final will take place on Monday.

Juventus will only arrive in Naples on the day of their clash with Napoli, a deliberate call from Luciano Spalletti aimed at giving his players a calmer night
