Tomasson is a good player and Inzaghi spends more time on the ground than scoring goals.

If anything both Milan and Inter have equal offenses. One big star striker (Sheva/Re Di Milan), solid 2nd and 3rd choice strikers (Tomasson/Crespo, Martins/Recoba), and fading, once good players (Pippo/Vieri)
Shevchenko has a scoring history in Europe and a history of scoring in the big European games. Adriano is starting his adventure. Sheva at this time not only has the name but the games to back it. He is slightly ahead.

Crespo didnot fail in England. You need to check his games to goals ratio which is very healthy. He is considered a failure there by the people as he is overshadowed by Henry, RVN etc because they start regularly. Chelsea was a merry go round with player changes taking place left, centre and right. Crespo's goal ratio was good in England.

Recoba is a NEVER WAS. Martins will hardly get a start unless some circumstances change in his favour and he can hardly do anything from the bench except watch Vieri and Recoba squander chance after chance. Vieri is not only a finished product but a damaging liability because his presence in the starting 11 is preventing Martins from playing. It is a double whammy.

And that explains why Milan has 4 stars and Inter 3.

Anyways congratulations on your win. I hope you guys qualify from your group as do Juve and Roma along with us of course. A strong Italian presence in the Rd-16 would be great.
