In the Derby d’Italia, Inter Milan lost 4-3 to Juventus in Turin. Marcus Thuram gave Inter a 3-2 lead in the 76th minute but barely celebrated, respecting Juventus as his father’s team.

During the thrilling Derby d’Italia, Juventus edged past Inter Milan 4-3 in a match dominated by the Thuram brothers. Marcus Thuram gave Inter the lead in the 76th minute, putting his team 3-2 ahead. Just six minutes later, his brother Khephren equalised for Juventus in the 82nd minute. The match was ultimately decided in stoppage time when youngster Vasilije Adzic scored a stunning long-range winner for the Old Lady. Marcus Thuram’s goal celebration drew attention as he barely celebrated his strike that temporarily put Inter in front.

Reports from Gazzetta dello Sport suggest the reason for this restraint was out of respect for his family, as Juventus is the team supported by his father. It is said that Marcus had discussed this with friends before the match, indicating he intended not to overdo the celebration against his father’s club. The snapshot of his subtle celebration, with a hand at the temple, highlighted this unusual but meaningful gesture.

While some Inter fans might be frustrated by the lack of an exuberant reaction, the act was likely motivated by personal respect rather than a lack of passion for his team. The match itself showcased incredible drama, sibling rivalry, and a last-minute hero in Adzic, making it one of the most memorable clashes of the season.
