Pippo Inzaghi again paved the way for the umpteenth European success. Superpippo reached Sheva at 59 goals in Europe.  The rest were scored by a fantastic strike by Jankulovksi and Ricky Kaka.

The fifth European Super Cup of Milan (no one like us) arrives in a particular night,  in a surreal atmosphere. But the real strength of the Rossoner is that of honour every commitment with the highest pride.

The start of the match for Carlo Ancelotti's men was not easy at all, maybe intimidated by the atmosphere, maybe too careful in evaluating the morale condition of their opponents. On the other hand Sevilla showed great pride, convinced in giving to Antonio Puera an important triumph.

Only after the goal by Renato which arrived in the first fifteen minutes of play did Milan understand that this was a real game and started to play it with character and strength even though having a discrete ball possesion already from the start of the match. It seemed an undertone Milan able to save itself from the Spanish double only thanks to an incredible save by Nesta on the line. That Milan could be superior to Sevilla was understood, but something was missing, a necessary shake.

So when one speaks about electricity, there's just one man capable of changing the game. His name is Filippo Inzaghi who in the second half once again pushed a fundamental ball inside the net, his 59th goal in Europe.

From that moment onwards everything change and Milan was back to being the most feared team in Europe, led by an amazing goal by Marek Jankulovksi following a brilliant assist by Pirlo. Then Ricky Kaka closed the match from the penalty kick despite the opposing goalkeeper parring the initial shot.

The best European culture, that of the Rossoneri, showed once again all of its class. The memory of the young player who died prematurely was honoured this way, by playing at football and not allowing any favours to the opponents.
