Henrikh Mkhitaryan aims for victory as Inter faces AC Milan in the Supercoppa Italiana, seeking to avenge their Serie A defeat.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan, the Armenian midfielder of Inter Milan, has expressed his determination to lead his team to victory over arch-rivals AC Milan in the upcoming Supercoppa Italiana.

The Road to Riyadh

"Winning against Milan is always special," Mkhitaryan remarked. "This time, it’s even more significant as we’re looking to avenge our earlier defeat in Serie A. Lifting the trophy in Riyadh again would be a remarkable achievement."
Respect for Saudi Football
Mkhitaryan also praised the growth of Saudi football, noting its increasing competitiveness. "I have former teammates playing in the Saudi league, and they’re all very happy. Whenever I have time, I enjoy watching their matches. The level of football here has improved significantly," he said.
Focus on the Supercoppa
Inter enters the match with confidence, buoyed by their recent performances in domestic and European competitions. However, AC Milan, under the guidance of manager Stefano Pioli, is equally motivated, seeking redemption and silverware to bolster their season.
Mkhitaryan acknowledged the challenge, saying, "Milan is a strong team, and this will be a hard-fought match. But we are focused, prepared, and determined to bring the trophy home."
Looking Ahead
The Supercoppa Italiana not only serves as a platform for domestic glory but also as a showcase of Italian football’s resurgence on the global stage. With Riyadh hosting the event, fans worldwide are set to witness an intense and high-quality encounter between two of Italy’s biggest clubs.
