Lilian Thuram is a proud father. The former defender of the France team (142 caps) was alongside his son Marcus, who celebrated his title of Italian champion with Inter Milan this Sunday, May 19 during the reception of Lazio Rome. Celebrations during which the Nerazzurri striker joined the supporters to put down rival club Juventus.
“He who does not jump is bianconero,” sang Thuram while hopping on the lawn of the Giuseppe Meazza stadium. Not to the taste of his father, who wore the colors of the Bianconeri between 2001 and 2006 and won the Italian championship four times, even if the titles of 2005 and 2006 were withdrawn after the “Calciopoli” affair concerning match-fixing . The 1998 world champion went towards his son to give him a slap, narrowly dodged by Marcus. Enough to provoke hilarity from the platform.
Author of a full season in Italy with 15 goals and 14 assists, Marcus Thuram was logically selected by Didier Deschamps to play Euro 2024 (June 14-July 14) with the France team. Enough to give his father the opportunity to be proud of him again.
