So you think a chance of 85% of having a goal when playing Inzaghi during CL doesn't make him a big match finisher??? FFS he nearly score a goal per game at CL...

Do I even need to mention the last final Milan owned?
Er, well he didn't score in 1998, so we lost our second final in a row because noone could score.

So in that way he's no better than Trez.

:howler: again, Pippo didn't friggin' score
Him not scoring is much more bearable than wasting the first PK in the shootout of 2003 final (do I even need to bring back the free header he incredibly missed during 1st half).

I don't know about you guys but I remember the 1998 final as if it was yesterday, we had 3 very good scoring chances against Madrid that day, the most notable was the one Davids wasted at the dying seconds after a solo effort and the other two, you know who was behind the other two ;)

Yes, I do. And that's the point. What makes a striker good is not how many chances he wastes, but how many he scores.

One thing that was blindingly obvious at the time Pippo played for us was that despite how many goals he scored, he was the master at missing good chances. Not just in 1998, but also in 1999 vs Perugia, wide open goal.

And that simply prove Trezeguet > Inzaghi.

If this is the kind of logic you are planning to use in your argument, I'm already done with you.
It proves "not (Pippo > Trez)".

If we wait until Trez's second and third CL final we'll see if they are on equal terms. For now, Pippo has played two more of them.

You do note the contradiction between the two phrases of your posts, don't you?

What is that? A new way to judge striker based on how many CL final they play and how they perform in it?

According to your logic Karl-Heinz Riedle is better than both, 1 Final /2 Goals.

You're the one who started talking about how amazing Pippo is in the CL. And in spite of that it took him three matches to score in the most important CL match. So evidently Pippo doesn't help you win the CL more than once in three tries, does he? Which puts the brakes on the argument that he's amazing in the CL. Maybe up to a point he is.

When you say the only thing that matters is scoring goals not wasting chances only to demonstrate how Inzaghi used to miss a lot of chances.
I never said this. I said in favor of a striker is how many goals he scores, not how many chances he misses. It counts against him if he misses many chances, which Pippo did.

0.85 Goal/Game is not useful in CL:crazy:

Are you listening to your self?

So how can you blind yourself from Inzaghi's better scoring record in CL?
I'm not blinding myself, I think his record is amazing.

But that doesn't change the fact that he, our best CL scorer, let us down when it mattered most. And so did Trez in 2003. And in that way there is no difference between them.
