He also became the first striker to score in all international club competitions open to European teams after his double against Boca Juniors during the FIFA Club World Cup final in 2007. Inzaghi is one of the most prolific goalscorers of all time, fifth in Italy, with 313 goals scored in official matches.

Filippo Inzaghi is currently the second all time most prolific goal scorer in European club competitions with 70 goals only beaten by Raúl's 77 goals. He is also Milan's top international goal scorer in the club's history with 43 goals. He also holds the record for most hat-tricks in Serie A (10), and the UEFA Champions League (three – tied with Michael Owen, Lionel Messi, and Mario Gómez).

Inzaghi's favourite footballers as a child were Paolo Rossi and Marco Van Basten.
