=== Early career ===
Inzaghi's favourite footballers as a child were [[Paolo Rossi]] and [[Marco van Basten]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.calciomercato.com/news/inzaghi-ricorda-van-basten-ronaldo-peccato-il-ritiro-437065|title=Inzaghi e i suoi idoli: 'Ronaldo?

In 1993, Inzaghi moved to [[Serie B]] club [[Hellas Verona FC|Hellas Verona]] and scored 13 goals in 36 league appearances. Upon his return to Piacenza, he scored 15 times in 37 games helping his team win [[Serie B]] and proving himself to be an exciting young prospect.<ref name="FACTBOX">{{cite web|url=http://www.eurosport.com/football/serie-a/2013-2014/factbox-new-ac-milan-coach-filippo-inzaghi_sto4280019/story.shtml|title=FACTBOX-New AC Milan coach Filippo Inzaghi|publisher=Eurosport|date=9 June 2014|access-date=25 October 2015}}</ref><ref name="Filippo Inzaghi, FourFourTwo (blog)">{{cite web|url=http://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/filippo-inzaghi|title=Filippo Inzaghi|website=fourfourtwo.com|publisher=Four Four Two|date=9 January 2008|access-date=17 March 2015}}</ref><ref name="Filippo Inzaghi - UEFA">{{cite web|url=http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/season%3D2003/clubs/player%3D24353/profile/index.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160108204036/http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/season%3D2003/clubs/player%3D24353/profile/index.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=8 January 2016|title=Filippo Inzaghi|publisher=[[UEFA]]|access-date=25 October 2015}}</ref>

Inzaghi made his [[Serie A]] debut when he transferred to [[Parma AC|Parma]] in 1995, but scored only twice in 15 [[Serie A 1995–96|league matches]]. One of these two goals came against one of his former clubs, Piacenza, literally "making him cry". He added another two goals in European competitions that season. In the [[Serie A 1996–97|following season]], he moved on to [[Atalanta BC|Atalanta]], finishing as the ''[[Capocannoniere]]'' (Serie A's top scorer) with 24 goals after scoring against every team in the league. He was crowned [[Serie A Young Footballer of the Year]] and served as team captain in the last game of the season.<ref name="FACTBOX" /><ref name="Filippo Inzaghi, FourFourTwo (blog)" /><ref name="Filippo Inzaghi - UEFA" />

Inzaghi, however, was soon on the move once again to his sixth team in seven seasons, this time to [[Juventus FC|Juventus]] for a reported 23 billion [[Italian lira|lire]].<ref name="Inzaghi2001">{{cite news|url=http://archiviostorico.gazzetta.it//2001/luglio/02/gia_Milan_Inzaghi_ga_0_0107022391.shtml|title=E' già il Milan di Inzaghi|date= 2 July 2001 |access-date =8 March 2010|work=La Gazzetta dello Sport|language=it}}</ref> He formed a formidable attacking partnership along with [[Alessandro Del Piero]] and [[Zinedine Zidane]], a tandem which would last for four seasons, under managers [[Marcello Lippi]], and subsequently [[Carlo Ancelotti]], marking Inzaghi's longest stint with one team at the time. During his time with the ''Bianconeri'', he scored two [[List of UEFA Champions League hat-tricks|Champions League hat-trick]]s – against [[FC Dynamo Kyiv|Dynamo Kyiv]] and [[Hamburger SV]] – becoming the first player to do so.<ref name="Gli eroi in bianconero: Filippo INZAGHI">{{cite web|url=http://www.tuttojuve.com/gli-eroi-bianconeri/gli-eroi-in-bianconero-filippo-inzaghi-58594|title=Gli eroi in bianconero: Filippo INZAGHI|website=tuttojuve.com|publisher=Tutto Juve|language=it|author1=Stefano Bedeschi|date=9 August 2013|access-date=27 April 2015}}</ref>

The [[1998–99 Serie A|1998–99 season]] was less successful for Juventus, as they were defeated in the [[1998 Supercoppa Italiana]] by [[SS Lazio|Lazio]] and finished the season seventh place in Serie A. Inzaghi still managed 20 goals in all competitions, finishing the season as the club's top-scorer;<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.myjuve.it/statistiche-stagione-1998-99-juventus/gol_segnati-Gol-104.aspx|title=Statistiche Stagione 1998–99|website=myjuve.it|publisher=My Juve|language=it|access-date=27 April 2015|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141030234056/http://www.myjuve.it/statistiche-stagione-1998-99-juventus/gol_segnati-Gol-104.aspx|archive-date=30 October 2014}}</ref> Six of his goals came in the [[1998–99 UEFA Champions League|Champions League]], as Juventus were eliminated in the semi-finals by eventual champions [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]].

Inzaghi helped Juventus win the [[1999 UEFA Intertoto Cup]], scoring five goals in the semi-finals against [[FC Rostov|Rostov]], and two in the finals against [[Stade Rennais F.C.|Rennes]], qualifying Juventus for the [[1999–2000 UEFA Cup|UEFA Cup]] that season.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://it.archive.uefa.com/competitions/intertotocup/history/season=1999/intro.html|title=1999: Anche la Juve nell'albo d'oro|website=[[UEFA]]|language=it|date=1 August 1999|access-date=27 April 2015|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160108204036/http://it.archive.uefa.com/competitions/intertotocup/history/season=1999/intro.html|archive-date=8 January 2016}}</ref> Inzaghi scored 15 goals in [[1999–2000 Serie A|Serie A]] as Juventus narrowly missed out on the title to Lazio, defeated on the final matchday.

With 16 goals in all competitions, he was Juventus's top goalscorer for the third consecutive season.

Inzaghi fully recovered from the persistent knee injuries that had dogged him for two years and regained his predatory goalscoring form by scoring 12 goals in 22 Serie A matches in [[2005–06 Serie A|2005–06]], along with four goals in five Champions' League appearances; two against [[Olympique Lyonnais|Lyon]] in the quarter-finals and another two against [[FC Bayern Munich|Bayern Munich]] in the first knockout stage. He scored the decisive goal against the [[Bavaria]]ns in the 2007 quarter-finals, helping Milan to reach the semi-finals of the competition. On 23 May 2007, in the [[2007 UEFA Champions League final|2007 Champions League final]] in Athens, he scored both of Milan's goals in their 2–1 victory over [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]] in a rematch of the [[2005 UEFA Champions League final|2005 final]]. He declared after the match:<ref name="Filippo Inzaghi - UEFA" />

{{blockquote

}}

At the start of the [[2007–08 Serie A|2007–08]] season, he picked up where he left off in Athens, scoring the equalizer in the [[2007 UEFA Super Cup|Super Cup]] in Milan's 3–1 victory over [[Sevilla FC|Sevilla]]. Inzaghi capped off the year by scoring two goals in the [[2007 FIFA Club World Cup final]], helping Milan win 4–2 against [[Boca Juniors]] to take revenge for the defeat on penalties in 2003.<ref name="Filippo Inzaghi - UEFA" />

On 24 February 2008, Inzaghi scored the match-winning goal in Milan's 2–1 win over [[US Città di Palermo|Palermo]] with a diving header after coming into the game from the bench; it marked his first Serie A goal in over a year. This was followed by ten more goals in the league, the last against [[Udinese Calcio|Udinese]]. This strike against Udinese was his 100th goal for the club in official games. But despite incredible form, [[Italy national football team|Italy national team]] manager [[Roberto Donadoni]] declined to call him for [[UEFA Euro 2008|Euro 2008]]. In November 2008, Inzaghi agreed to a contract extension with Milan until June 2010.<ref>{{cite news | url = https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/european/inzaghi-pens-milan-extension-996388.html | title = Inzaghi pens Milan extension | work=The Independent | location=London | first=Adrian | last=Mills | date=6 November 2008 | access-date=2 April 2010}}{{dead link|date=August 2021|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref>

On 8 March 2009, Inzaghi scored his first hat-trick of the season for Milan against [[Atalanta BC|Atalanta]], leading his team to a 3–0 victory at the [[San Siro]]. His 300th career goal came in the 5–1 thrashing of [[AC Siena|Siena]] away from home. He then went on to score three goals against [[Torino FC|Torino]], his second professional hat-trick in that season. Scoring this hat-trick enabled him to set a record for the player with the [[Football records in Italy#Most hat-tricks in Serie A|most hat-tricks in Serie A]] over the last 25 years. With ten hat-tricks in Serie A, Inzaghi is ahead of [[Giuseppe Signori]] (9), [[Hernán Crespo]] (8), [[Roberto Baggio]], [[Marco van Basten]], [[Gabriel Batistuta]], [[Abel Balbo]], [[Vincenzo Montella]] (7), [[Antonio Di Natale]] and [[David Trezeguet]] (6). Inzaghi scored one hat-trick for Atalanta, four for Juventus, and five for Milan.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.90min.com/it/posts/4158930-top-10-i-dieci-giocatori-autori-di-piu-triplette-nella-storia-della-serie-a|title=TOP 10 - I dieci giocatori autori di più triplette nella storia della Serie A|publisher=www.90min.com|language=it|author1=Niccolò Mariotto|date=23 November 2016|access-date=21 May 2017|archive-date=27 July 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210727221917/https://www.90min.com/it/posts/4158930-top-10-i-dieci-giocatori-autori-di-piu-triplette-nella-storia-della-serie-a|url-status=dead}}</ref>

In the 2009–10 season, under manager [[Leonardo Araújo|Leonardo]], Inzaghi was relegated to the role of backup player with his contract set to expire in June 2010. On 21 May 2010, he was offered a new one-year contract which would last until 30 June 2011.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11854_6166606,00.html|title=Inzaghi extends Milan stay|date= 21 May 2010 |access-date=22 May 2010 |work=Sky Sports}}</ref>

On 3 November 2010, in the [[2010–11 UEFA Champions League|UEFA Champions League 2010–11 Group Stage]] campaign, with Milan trailing by 1–0 to Real Madrid, Inzaghi came off the bench in the second half and scored a brace to give Milan a 2–1 lead. [[Pedro León]], however, equalized in the 94th minute, with the final score ending 2–2. On that occasion, he became the new all-time top scorer of all European club competitions with 70 goals. He also became the second-oldest player to score in the Champions League, aged 37 years and 85 days, behind only Manchester United's [[Ryan Giggs]], now surpassed by Inzaghi's compatriot [[Francesco Totti]]. With these two goals, Inzaghi went ahead of his idol [[Marco van Basten]] on the club list of the all-time top goalscorers with 125 goals.

On 10 November 2010, Inzaghi suffered a serious injury while playing for Milan against Palermo. A statement on the official Milan club website confirmed that Inzaghi had suffered a lesion of the [[anterior cruciate ligament]] (ACL) and an associated lesion to the external meniscus of the left knee. It was thought he would be out for the rest of the season.<ref name="Filippo Inzaghi - UEFA" /> Due to his age, this injury could have ended his career; nonetheless, Inzaghi was optimistic. On 7 May 2011, with Inzaghi still out recovering from his injury, Milan won the [[2010–11 Serie A]] title. After being sidelined by injury for six months, he came off the bench for the first time since his injury on 14 May, with Milan defeating [[Cagliari Calcio|Cagliari]] 4–1. He extended his contract till June 2012 during the [[2011–12 Serie A|2011–12]] pre-season.

Just like with [[Andrea Pirlo]] in 2011, Milan decided not to renew the contracts of several veteran players at the end of the season and Inzaghi was one of those, along with [[Gennaro Gattuso]], [[Clarence Seedorf]], [[Alessandro Nesta]] and [[Gianluca Zambrotta]].<ref>{{cite news |title=They were in Manchester, they were in Athens, and they'll be in AC Milan hearts forever: Goodbye Gattuso, Inzaghi, Seedorf & Nesta |url=http://www.goal.com/en/news/1717/editorial/2012/05/12/3097405/they-were-in-manchester-they-were-in-athens-and-theyll-be-in |publisher=Goal.com |date=12 May 2012 |access-date=26 July 2012}}</ref> He played his final game for Milan against [[Novara Calcio|Novara]] on 13 May 2012 and marked his performance by scoring the winning goal.<ref>{{cite news |title=Inzaghi claims winner on final Milan bow |url=http://soccernet.espn.go.com/report/_/id/326830?cc=5901 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120714072812/http://soccernet.espn.go.com/report/_/id/326830?cc=5901 |url-status=dead |archive-date=14 July 2012 |work=[[ESPN]] |publisher=[[ESPN FC]] |date=13 May 2012 |access-date=26 July 2012 }}</ref> On 24 July 2012, Inzaghi announced his retirement from professional football to start a coaching career.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.magliarossonera.it/protagonisti/Gioc-Inzaghi.html|title=Filippo Inzaghi|website=magliarossonera.it|publisher=Maglia Rossonera|language=it|access-date=27 April 2015}}</ref>

=== European competition records ===
With 70 goals, Inzaghi is the sixth-highest scorer in European club competitions, behind only [[Cristiano Ronaldo]], [[Lionel Messi]], [[Robert Lewandowski]], [[Raúl (footballer)|Raúl]] and [[Karim Benzema]]. He became the first player to score two Champions League hat-tricks – both with Juventus – when he netted a treble during a 4–4 group stage draw with Hamburger SV on 13 September 2000; his first was in a 4–1 victory over [[FC Dynamo Kyiv|Dynamo Kyiv]] during the 1997–98 quarter–finals. Inzaghi scored a record third Champions League hat-trick in a 4–0 win against Deportivo de La Coruña in the 2002–03 season, while playing for Milan. This record would later be tied by [[Michael Owen]], who scored two hat-tricks for Liverpool and a third for Manchester United.

== International career ==
Between 1993 and 1996, Inzaghi made 14 appearances for the [[Italy national under-21 football team|Italy under-21 team]], scoring three goals; he was also a member of the Italy under-21 squad that won the [[1994 UEFA European Under-21 Championship]]. Inzaghi earned his first senior cap for [[Italy national football team|Italy]] in the [[Tournoi de France 1997|Tournoi de France]],<ref name="Filippo Inzaghi - UEFA" /> against [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]] on 8 June 1997, under his former under-21 manager [[Cesare Maldini]], and provided an assist to goalscorer [[Alessandro Del Piero]].
