Marcus Thuram at his very best. A goal, plenty of pace and two assists for captain Lautaro. Inter fans celebrated the return of El Toro, but more than that the return of the Thu-La duo. The pair were constantly linking up, looking for each other and creating an incredible number of chances and threats to the opponents. For the first time, Tikus provided two assists in a single Serie A match, contributing to three goals in total for only the third time in the Italian league.
After the match, MVP Thuram spoke in his post-match interview:
“Lautaro's return is very important, but not only for me, for the whole team. I definetely missed him, but the other forwards have also been important for the team in this period. But I have a unique connection with him. I think this is the case for the whole team. Lautaro is our captain. We look up to him in the difficult moments. He did today in under a minut, scoring straight away and setting the tone for the game. We are super happy to have him back with us. Today we picked up three big points, but it's not over yet. We still have 7 games to go. ”
