The 2020 Supercoppa Italiana (branded as the PS5 Supercup for sponsorship reasons)[3] was the 33rd edition of the Supercoppa Italiana. It was played on 23 December 2020 for the first time at the Mapei Stadium – Città del Tricolore, Reggio Emilia, between Juventus, the winners of the 2019–20 Serie A championship, and Napoli, the winners of the 2019–20 Coppa Italia.[4] The match was initially supposed to be held in December in Saudi Arabia like the previous year, but restrictions related to the global COVID-19 pandemic forced it to remain in Italy.[5]

Juventus won the match 2–0 and claimed their record-extending ninth Supercoppa Italiana title.[6][7]

Background

Juventus made its ninth consecutive Supercoppa Italiana appearance, and 16th overall. They had a 4–4 record during this run, and were 8–7 overall. Napoli took part in the competition for the fourth time, having already participated as Serie A champions once (1990) and as Coppa Italia winners twice (2012, 2014). Napoli won two of the previous three editions in which they played.[8] On all three occasions Juventus had been the opponent. The match was a rematch of the 2020 Coppa Italia final, in which Napoli defeated Juventus 4–2 on penalties.

Match

Summary

Cristiano Ronaldo opened the scoring in the 64th minute when a corner from the left broke to him off the back of Napoli's Tiémoué Bakayoko, he finished to the net from six yards out.[9] Napoli was awarded a penalty kick in the 80th minute, but with a chance to tie the game at 1–1, Lorenzo Insigne missed the net, wide to the left. Álvaro Morata made it 2–0 in the 5th minute of added time with a low shot to the net from the right, after Juan Cuadrado ran into the penalty area and drew goalkeeper David Ospina before passing to him.[9]
