Kaka' And Izaghi Was The Milan Heroes At this Champions League 2006-7

The Two Unforgettable AC Milan Heroes..



The Champions League 2006-7 is now a part of footballing history and two scorers have special reason to celebrate as one elder statesman made the difference in Greece and a younger gun also finished up top of the scoring tables…

AC Milan's 2-1 win over Liverpool FC was the second Final the Brazilian number 22 has played in and, even though, as per Istanbul, he didn’t ripple netting, he was confirmed as top scorer in this season's tournament.

Filippo SuperPippo Inzaghi justified his nickname with rare but decisive appearances and the two goals that earned the Italians their seventh piece of elite European silverware, the old warhorse who many are preparing for the glue factory showed he’s still alive and kicking.

With ten goals in thirteen appearances the Brazilian outclassed the competition, ending up above such natural strikers as Real Madrid CF's Ruud van Nistelrooy, Liverpool FC's Peter Crouch, Valencia CF's Fernando Morientes and Chelsea FC's Didier Drogba.

The foursome of forwards all scored six apiece, and the Brazilian wont be troubled to find out that he stopped short of Van Nistelrooy's record of 12 goals in a Champions League season, dating back to 2002-03 edition and pre-Madrid status.

Inzaghi's brace means that the Italian has notched up 58 goals in Europe and rubs shoulders with Raúl González. Shevchenko (59) and Gerd Müller (62) still rule the roost. Can SuperPippo make it to next years edition or will it have to be Kaká who picks up the torch?
