Adding to the "mistaken identity" later explained, many Al Hilal fans welcomed Pippo Inzaghi, along with numerous Iranians who defended Taremi... but with the wrong person. But let's go in order.

PRESENTATION VIDEO... WITH AUDIO FOR PIPPO INZAGHI

In the presentation video where Al Hilal proudly highlights "The Italian genius," besides the background music, there's also a snippet of the famous commentary by Sandro Piccinini mentioning "Inzaghi, Inzaghi."

All would be well if not for the fact that the famous commentary is from the 2007 Athens final between Milan and Liverpool, and the "Inzaghi" mentioned was Pippo. In short, quite a blunder.


WELCOME COMMENTS AND IRANIAN CRITICISM... FOR SUPERPIPPO!

Following the club's blunder, numerous Iranian fans joined in by flooding Filippo Inzaghi's latest Instagram post with comments, "accusing" him of ruining the season of their idol Mehdi Taremi.

Many comments are from Al Hilal fans welcoming the wrong Inzaghi, while some, as highlighted by Daniele Mari, are from Iranian fans. In short, in Saudi Arabia and the Middle East, the difference between the two Inzaghi brothers isn't quite clear.
