MILAN, Aug 17 (Reuters) - Filippo Inzaghi bagged two trademark goals to give AC Milan a 2-0 win over Juventus in the Berlusconi Trophy on Friday.

The annual match, which was the final friendly for both sides ahead of the Serie A kick-off on Aug. 25, was an entertaining affair packed with several tough tackles.

Former Juve man Inzaghi, who netted both goals in Milan's Champions League final win over Liverpool in May, scored with a diving header from Massimo Ambrosini's pinpoint cross before halftime and then prodded in a corner just after the break.

Before the match, Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani said he hoped to revive the deal with Real Madrid for former Juve midfielder Emerson.

Champions Inter Milan, who beat Juve and Milan in a triangular tournament on Tuesday, face AS Roma in the Italian Super Cup on Sunday.
