Marcus Thuram hadn’t scored in two months. And it must be said that the Inter scorer chose the moment of his new goal very well, but also the manner. The moment first, as the French international scored in the Milan derby to make it 2-0 after Acerbi opened the scoring earlier from a corner. Above all, it allows Inter to get a little closer to a 20th Italian champion title. In the event of victory against the Milanese enemy, Inter would be crowned.
The manner too. In the 49th minute, Marcus Thuram received a long ball from his left side Alessandro Bastoni. In the fight with Tomori and while his teammates go up to offer a solution to the Frenchman, the interior striker misses his transmission with Mkhitaryan.
Not attacked by the other defenders, he took advantage of a favorable counterattack and managed to get rid of the English defender to score a shot at the edge of the area. While many imagined him hitting the opposite corner as for his magical goal in the first leg, the French striker finally closed his foot to score at the near post.

Opposite, his compatriot Mike Maignan is too short and can do nothing against this powerful strike. With this goal, Marcus Thuram scored his twelfth in the colors of Inter, having joined Italy last summer.
