The mind and heart inevitably went back to 16 September, 2023, to a derby won 5-1 and an extraordinary goal from Thuram, who, curled the ball into the top right corner with a brilliant right-footed shot.

An incredible goal, which topped off a performance filled with classy plays, technical quality and speed: Thuram played brilliantly and was nominated UEFA MVP at the end of the match.
The award was conferred to him on the pitch, and then he shared the moment who is no stranger to receive prestigious awards: Spike Lee, the American director who was a guest at San Siro, is a two-time Academy Award winner (an Honorary Oscar in 2016 and Best Adapted Screenplay in 2019). Marcus Thuram and Spike Lee, pitch side at San Siro, with the Nerazzurri striker's MVP trophy - a night straight out of a movie.
“We played really well and now we're in the quarter-finals: it's brilliant. My ankle has been giving me a few problems for a month, but I'm playing through it. Sometimes it's bad, sometimes it's better, but I'm not at 100%. All of the teams are beatable: it'll be difficult against Bayern, but we'll see. I told Spike Lee that I need to go to Madison Square Garden given that he's been to San Siro, he's an icon and great person, I'm happy to have met him this evening. When you're at Inter, you play every game to win and if you win all of them, great things happen at the end of the year: it's not a question about believing or not believing. ”
