Milan and Juventus are actually both anxious and anxious thinking about extra time and ending penalties at the Italian super cup which will take place in Jeddah later tonight. History explains this.
In the last press conference, Juventus coach, Max Allegri, explained that he really hoped the big match did not have to end with extra time and even a penalty shootout. But the history of Supercoppa Italiana shows the opposite.
Allegri explained in. The press conference said that he really did not expect the match to end in penalty. Because Serie matches will soon be restarted this weekend.
Extra time will be an additional 30 minutes for the players. If the penalty ends then it will be added up to 15 minutes. This will disrupt preparations for the Juventus team to continue in Serie A.
Since the first Supercoppa Italiana began in 1989, there have been eight matches from 30 matches which must end extra time. And five games ended until the penalty shootout. That means there are around 16.6 percent of the total. And two of them are Juventus v AC Milan matches.
What Allegri was worried about was the fact that the last two matches had ended until a penalty shootout. First in the August 2003 match, before Juventus won in penalties, matches 0-0, and 1-1 after extra minutes.
Second in December 2016, a 1-1 draw. But Milan managed to win the game after winning from penalties. The Rossoneri supporters, will be full of enthusiasm remembering romance when they won against the blanconeri and won the Champions League trophy.
