International Debut 08/06/1997 v Brazil (drew 3-3)
Filippo Inzaghi became Italy's topscorer with 24 goals in the 1996/1997 season while playing for Atalanta. Juventus snapped up the striker who earned his nickname Superpippo because of his prolific scoring record in Serie A. During his stay at the Turin club he won an Italian Super Cup (1997) and an Italian league title in 1998. Inzaghi, who now stars for AC Milan, was a member of the Juve team that lost the 1998 UEFA Champions League final to Real Madrid. Classic goal-poaching striker, makes up for modest physique with quick thinking. Made Serie A debut with Parma in 1995 but off-loaded to Atalanta where finished as league's top scorer in 1996-97 season with 22 goals. Joined Juve in 1997 and quickly gelled with Del Piero, scoring 18 goals in the black-and-white shirt. A terrier-type forward with a poacher's instinct for goal - has scored 26 for Juve this season (as of April 29). Affectionately known as ?Super Pippo?, the former Atalanta BC striker has shown that a slight physique is no barrier to becoming a world-class striker. He made his international debut in 1997 during the 3-3 thriller with Brazil and played in seven of Italy's Euro 2000 qualifiers, scoring three goals.
