| | Inzaghi revels in his record |
Friday 28 November, 2008 |
| Milan hero Pippo Inzaghi was over the moon after his last-gasp goal at Portsmouth sent the Rossoneri through and broke Raul's scoring record.
The Diavolo looked headed for defeat when they went 2-0 down at Fratton Park in the second half.
But a Ronaldinho free-kick reduced the deficit and Inzaghi, who had struck the woodwork three times, popped up to find an equaliser, surpassing Raul's European goal record in the process.
“I was starting to think it could be a jinxed night after hitting the post twice and the bar,” Inzaghi admitted after the game.
“But I kept believing to the end because I felt really good physically and the gods of football rewarded me in the 93rd minute.
“To wear the captain's armband and to overtake Raul with a goal that secures qualification is something extra.
“Europe is a special stage for Milan and we will do everything to get to the Final. It's a long and difficult journey, but we have such desire.”
