Milan’s Supercoppa Italiana final heroes Rafael Leao, Theo Hernandez and Tammy Abraham all sent messages thanking the Rossoneri supporters after the 3-2 victory over Inter in the Supercoppa Italiana final on Monday night.

The Rossoneri were 2-0 down two minutes into the second half, but the game had turned on its head by full-time as Milan recorded a 3-2 victory in Sergio Conceicao’s second game in charge of the club.

Leao, who had missed the last few games with injury, was introduced after 50 minutes with the team 2-0 down, and put in a particularly impressive attacking display.

Theo Hernandez got the comeback going with a fine free-kick: A set-piece won by Leao less than two minutes after his introduction.
