Pippo Inzaghi and Man of the Match Andrea Pirlo look back over the European Super Cup and forward to the Intercontinental crown.
The 3-1 victory over Sevilla was dominated by dedications to Antonio Puerta, the 22-year-old who tragically died from heart failure this week.
“I don’t know if it was my best performance in a Final, but it was certainly the saddest,†confessed Pirlo.
UEFA voted him Man of the Match, particularly for his stunning assist in the second goal for Marek Jankulovski – a long cross-field ball over the defence for the Czech’s volley.
“I have done many great assists in my career,†he smiled. “Joking aside, that pass really did hit the spot.â€
Inzaghi left Europe back in May with a winning brace for the Champions League against Liverpool and returned with another decisive goal.
“I always score because I am the centre-forward of this fantastic side,†assured Super Pippo after his 59th continental strike – second only to Gerd Muller.
“Scoring is my job. Of course you know that as soon as I add another ring to my chain of victories, I can’t wait to get the next one on there.
“In Europe and in cup competitions I seem to bring the best out of myself and want to score many more. In particular,
I am saving one goal for the Club World Cup Final in December.†(IMG:
