PHOTO: AC Milan superfan gets giant Filippo Inzaghi tattoo on his back

An AC Milan supporter has venerated his favourite player, Filippo Inzaghi, in the most permanent way possible.

Antonio Dell'infante expressed his love for the former Rossoneri striker and manager by having Inzaghi's No. 9 tattooed on his back.

“(Dearest Pippo,) To me you are and always will be the best player in the world. The player whenever marked, made me move and cry," Dell'infante wrote on Facebook.

Here's the kicker: Inzaghi posted a favourable reply on his own Facebook page.

After a turbulent 2014-15 Serie A campaign, AC Milan will be looking to improve on a 10th-place finish. Milanese supporters are aiming for a Champions League berth, but surely Dell'infante will be happy with 9th place.
