AC Milan striker Filippo Inzaghi’s recent goalscoring form has been a boost to World Champion Italy’s surge to grab onto the European Cup. Currently in their last leg of the domestic league, Milan will not be featured in the title race this season, but even if that is so, Inzaghi is looking at his sharpest to end the season on a high before embarking to the national level.

This means that Alsessandro Del Piero would not be the only experienced player looking to hold down a place in the national team come UEFA EURO 2008. 

At club level, Inzaghi has started only 12 times this season due to injuries but as most would agree, everytime he go onto the pitch something happens. His latest effort saw him help Milan beat neighbours Inter with a 2-1 score where Inzaghi contributed 1 goal. That amounts to nine goals in his last 5 games.

Inzaghi scored his 99^th goal for the club which then saw the club leapfrog above Fiorentina where they must hold the fourth spot in order to qualify for the UEFA Champions League next season. He has so far scored 3 times for the national team en route to the tournament finals and he believe that his efforts will not go unnoticed. He said "I'm not saying I should be selected just because I've scored a few goals recently, but I was already part of the qualifying campaign. I've had some physical problems this season but my current form is excellent. I'd really love to get the chance to score more goals for my country."
