AC Milan Vs Inter Milan – Nerazzurri & Poland Midfielder Could Enter Record Books As He Approaches Key Milestone | OneFootball

Piotr Zielinski has the chance to write his name into Serie A history on Sunday, with the Inter Milan and Poland midfielder just one goal away from joining an elite group of players to reach 50 goals and 50 assists in the Italian top flight since 2010.

The Polish midfielder has been one of the standout performers in Italian football this season.

Indeed, after more than a decade in Serie A.

As noted by L’Interista, his tally of 49 league goals puts him on the brink of a landmark that only five midfielders have achieved in the modern era: Josip Ilicic, Antonio Candreva, Marek Hamsik, Papu Gomez and Hakan Calhanoglu.

Zielinski has an opportunity to join that exclusive company against the opposition he has tormented more than any other.

Milan are, alongside Juventus, his favourite victims.

He has scored four goals against each, and having already netted against the Bianconeri in Inter’s 3-2 win on February 14th, the timing of this milestone could not be more poetic.

A goal in the derby, in what many are already calling the Scudetto match, would be one of the defining moments of his Inter career.
