Filippo Inzaghi was one of the most iconic players in Milan's history. Throughout 11 seasons with the Rossoneri's shirt, Inzaghi won 2 Serie A titles, an Italian Cup, a FIFA Club World Cup, 2 UEFA Super Cups and, of course, 2 UEFA Champions League. He scored 130 goals in 305 games with AC Milan, with his most remarkable season being in 2002/2003. "Pippo" was absolutely unstoppable that year, scoring 32 goals in 51 matches and taking a big role in Milan's success. The Rossoneri would win their 6th Champions League trophy that season.











Since Inzaghi left the club in 2012 not a single player held "9" shirt for more than a season.





8 strikers held nº 9 shirt but no one could hold it for more than a season. Since Inzaghi left the club in 2012, 5 from 8 players hold it for half a season before leaving the club:

2012: Alexandre Pato





The Brazillian got the number 9 just 6 months before leaving the club, scoring 6 goals in 25 matches during that period. He stayed in Milan for 5 seasons but was number 7 until Inzaghi left the club.

2013: Alessandro Matri





Born for football at Milan, Matri held the shirt for just 6 months, scoring 1 goal in 18 matches. He was then sent on loan to Fiorentina later in that season.

2014: Fernando Torres





"El Niño" Torres had a short stay in Milan, playing just 10 games with the Rossoneri. The Spanish striker wasn´t successful during the 6 months he spent with the Italian club, scoring just one single goal.

2015: Luiz Adriano





Bought from Shakhtar Donetsk for €8 million, Luiz Adriano spent one and a half seasons with the Rossoneri, before leaving to play for Spartak Moscow. During his period with Milan, he held nº9 during the 2015/16 season, scoring 6 goals in 29 matches.

2016: Gianluca Lapadula





The Italian striker scored 8 goals in 29 matches during the 2016/17 season. It was his only season with the Rossoneri.

2017: Andre Silva





A lot of hype surrounded Milan's move for the Portuguese international Andre Silva, back in 2017/18. The Rossoneri paid almost €40 million for the former FC Porto striker, but Andre Silva didn't have a great experience at San Siro. He had 40 appearances, scoring just 10 goals. He was then sent on loan to Sevilla.

2018: Gonzalo Higuaín





Milan paid around €10 million to guarantee Higuaín on loan from Juventus. The Argentinian was just 6 months in the club, scoring 8 goals in 22 appearances.

2019: Krzysztof Piatek

After a remarkable first part of the season with Genoa, Piatek arrived in Milan with a lot of expectations. The Polish striker had an outstanding first part of the season with 19 goals in 21 matches, and Milan was excited about getting the most of him. With the nº19, he finished that season with 11 goals in 21 matches and started this season with the mythical nº9. Just 5 goals in 20 appearances and with less room in the squad with Rafael Leao and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Piatek left the club in this January transfer window to play in the Bundesliga for Hertha Berlin.
