Knock, knock
Noone interested in this match ?

"It’s the 15th edition of the friendly between Italian football’s most decorated sides, a clash which has never failed to set previous summers alight. The game has a winter flavour for the first time this year but that won’t stop the temperature reaching boiling-point at the Giuseppe Meazza. Aside from the age-old rivalry between the pair, the clash will be the perfect indicator of the condition the two teams are in after the winter break and of Juventus’ future ambitions as they chase down a return to Serie A."

The “Berlusconi” has become a classic of the Italian footballing calendar and - with the exception of 1992, 1993 and 1994, when Milan hosted Inter, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich - the trophy has been an annual head-to-head between the Bianconeri and the Rossoneri, ever since its inception in 1991. As things stand, Juventus lead the way with eight victories to Milan’s seven.

History

1991 Juventus - Milan 2:1 ..... Casiraghi (2) - Maldini
1992 Milan- Inter 1:0 ..... Papin
1993 Milan- Real Madrid 3:2 ..... Simone, Papin, Boban - Michel, Zamorano
1994 Milan- Bayern 1:0 ..... Gullit
1995 Juventus- Milan 0:0 (6:5 after penalties)
1996 Milan- Juventus 1:0 ..... Eranio
1997 Milan- Juventus 3:1 .....Cruz, Kluivert, Weah - Conte
1998 Juventus-Milan 2:1 ..... Inzaghi (2) - Bierhoff
1999 Juventus- Milan 1:0 ..... Del Piero
2000 Juventus- Milan 2:2 (7:6 after penalties).....Trezeguet, Inzaghi - Jose Mari, Shevchenko
2001 Juventus- Milan 1:1 (4:3 after penalties).....Del Piero-Serginho
2002 Milan- Juventus 0:0 (3:2 after penalties)
2003 Juventus- Milan 2:0..... Del Piero, Camoranesi
2004 Juventus- Milan 1:0 ..... Olivera
2005 Milan- Juventus 2:1 ..... Kaka, Serginho - Vieira

* It's interesting how Pippo Inzaghi who, together with Del Piero, is the all time top scorer of this cup, has missed 3 penalties out of 3 atempts on these matches, in 2000,2001 and 2002

Milan is the strongest team Juve will play against this year. It's a friendly match, and all of the players, especially the youngsters are expecting to be given few minutes of play.
It's a perfect oportunity for some of the old "enemies" and great friends Maldini, Pirlo, Gattuso, Buffon, Del Piero, Nedved to give us a real show.

Lets hope there won't be any serious injuries, like it happened on the last Trofeo Berlusconi match when Buffon and Nedved got serious injuries !
