From Inzaghi to Piatek: AC Milan and the curse of number 9
Now, in addition to the opposition's defenders, Piatek will have to challenge the "curse" that has been going since the 2011/12 season, the last of Filippo Inzaghi at the San Siro. Since then, the number has had eight different interpreters and none of them were convincing and it is up to Piatek to show up and break the "tradition".
The last player to wear the shirt with number 9 was Gonzalo Higuain, who left the club after just 6 months, but there were others, less famous names and bigger flops.
