In the second round of the Champions League group stage, Inter beat Benfica 1-0 at home thanks to a goal from Marcus Thuram. During the post-match comments, Juventus legendary goalscorer Del Piero praised Marcus Thuram.
Del Piero told Sky Sports radio: "No matter how you win, winning is winning. To score one more goal than the opponent is the most important thing. It was a great moment for Inter. ”
"Marcus Thuram? He and his father (Lillian Thuram) visited my house many times. Mention them, and I can think of some interesting memories. I'm very happy for him today to see him score a goal. ”
"He has integrated into a well-functioning team, although it will not be easy to replace Dzeko and Romelu Lukaku... Today, he plays alongside Lautaro Martinez, the undisputed big star of the Nerazzurri. Marcus Thuram is doing the dirty work, but he can score goals and assist, and it can be said that he has made a very good start. ”
