#OnThisDay in 1997: Italian Super Cup glory
Seventeen years ago to the day, on 23 August 1997, the Bianconeri lifted their second Italian Super Cup courtesy of a 3-0 win over Vicenza.
The triumph crowned a perfect calendar year for Juventus, who had sealed Scudetto, UEFA Super Cup and Intercontinental Cup successes during the 1996/97 campaign.
Following a goalless first half at the Delle Alpi, Filippo Inzaghi sparked the game into life with two quick-fire goals inside the opening ten minutes of the restart, with Antonio Conte putting the icing on the cake in the encounter’s final flourishes.
