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.”

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.” 

“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.
