Thuram brothers face off as Juventus triumphs over Inter Milan
Juventus secured a crucial victory against Inter Milan at the Allianz Stadium, with Khephren Thuram emerging victorious in the family duel against his brother Marcus. The Juventus midfielder shared his thoughts on the memorable encounter after the match.
“Facing Marcus on the pitch felt like we were back playing in our backyard. It was truly a dream come true,” Khephren remarked. “Marcus is dealing with some ankle discomfort, which is why he didn’t start the game. Our father Lilian was probably more anxious than both of us combined!”
Reflecting on the match’s significance, Khephren stated, “We’re thrilled to have secured another win. This victory holds particular importance as it came against a top-tier team, which greatly boosts our confidence.” He also touched on his tactical role, explaining, “Today, I played in a more defensive position. We’re a team, and we need to adapt based on our lineup. With two more attack-minded midfielders playing, I held a deeper position.”
