AC Milan veteran Inzaghi chasing down Baggio record

AC Milan hero Pippo Inzaghi admits he's planning to play on next season.

Inzaghi wants to beat Roberto Baggio's goal scoring record after hitting No300 last weekend.

"The first objective is to get into the Champions League," Inzaghi told journalists. "After that has been achieved, I am targeting Roberto Baggio's total of 318 goals - I just need 19 to beat him!

"I just have to keep grounded and calm and ensure that I keep doing my job correctly.

"Which was my best goal? I think the Champions League Final goal in Athens. The ball from Kaka was beautiful and my job wasn't very difficult but I managed an angled drive.

"I didn't sleep for 10 nights after that game - it was the most incredible of emotions.

"I love it when I hear that I am an example for kids growing up and I have heard that David Beckham compares me to Gary Lineker.

"I liked him a lot when I was a child and I wore his No 10 when I was growing up."
