On the other hand, Filippo Inzaghi one of the greatest Italian strikers in soccer was a bit annoyed with Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi’s goalscoring stats of a combined 1690 goals which have overshadowed his and Raul’s records. He said, “To tell the truth, I’m a little angry with Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. Because of them, it seems that Raul and I have few goals in our careers.”
The 46 goals he scored in the UCL make the Italian striker an all-time great. Speaking to Gazzetta dello Sport, Inzaghi asserted that Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo had made his goal-scoring exploits appear fairly routine. He also is one of Italy’s famous soccer players and is very respected by fans and players in the soccer community.
Filippo Inzaghi provides an honest verdict on brother Simone Inzaghi
Simone Inzaghi and Filippo Inzaghi both saw great success in their playing careers. The current Inter coach, Simone Inzaghi is renowned for leading Lazio to the Serie A championship. His tenure with the Biancocelesti was a lengthy and highly valued one, but this was the high point of his striker career.
In actuality, though, Filippo’s playing career was more remarkable. The fifty-year-old was the Serie A champion for both AC Milan and Juventus. Additionally, Filippo and the Rossoneri won the Champions League twice. In addition, he played frequently for the Italian national team, who took home the World Cup in 2006 and in contrast, Simone was only able to earn three caps for the Azzurri.

However, Filippo does not believe that for himself, instead feels his brother Simone has always been the better player. He said, “Simone was always better than me at everything, But I never gave up, not an inch.” The better player amongst the two will always be a debate among soccer fans to discuss who is the best.
It remains to be seen what happens next with their respective futures as Simone Inzaghi who is currently managing Inter Milan FC has been doing a commendable job as of yet. As for Filippo, he too is coaching in the Serie A and has earned a lot of respect among players and soccer fans worldwide.
