Better Late Than Never

Pippo Inzaghi…what can you do but shake your head sometimes? How did the Lyon defense not account for him this evening, with a trip to the UEFA CL semi-finals on the line? As Sean noted, the man is seriously the all-time best poacher. The only recent player that comes to mind who scores more goals inside the six yard box is Ruud V. Nistelroy. Maybe. And he certainly hasn’t done it over such an extended time frame.

Meanwhile, their brethren from the San Siro manage to implode at El Madrigal without a goal in site. Another year, another 3rd place for Inter domestically, and another ‘close, but not quite’ year in Europe.
