SuperPippo scored his 63rd goal in European competition as Milan beat Celtic 1-0, thus surpassing the record he heald with Germany and Bayern Munich legend Gerd Muller.
“Inzaghi reached a great achievement tonight, proving he still has a lot of life left in him,” said Ancelotti.
Milan only required a point to finish first in Group D, and the game seemed to be heading for a draw until Inzaghi struck in the 70th minute.
“Today we played a relatively tranquil first half, but we stepped on the gas in the second," said Carletto.
"We have many objectives this season and it was important to top the group so we’d reach the next round with the right credentials. It is also a good boost for the Club World Cup.”
Ancelotti concluded by looking ahead to next week's FIFA Club World Cup in Japan. The Rossoneri are favourites for the prestigious tournament between all of the world continents champions, however Copa Libertadores winners Boca Juniors should put up a fight.
“The European clubs have always struggled in Japan and we lost last time we were there,” pointed out Ancelotti.
“It is a great shop window for the South American sides and they seem to give a little bit extra. We have to prepare for this as we would a World Cup Final.
“Boca are a young side with the South American spirit. They have a mean defence and everyone knows Martin Palermo’s qualities in attack.”
