The day after the elimination of Inter in the round of 16 of the Champions League by Atlético de Madrid, Marcus Thuram was called up by Didier Deschamps for the friendly matches against Germany and Chile. The striker missed a good match point in the last quarter of an hour but also performed poorly during extra time. A camera filmed him grabbing Stefan Savic’s genitals.
At the time, the colchonero defender collapsed, exaggerating his pain since he was joking with his opponent a few moments later. The fact remains that Thuram was very hot, and very lucky that the VAR did not warn the main referee. Even Deschamps didn’t like it. “I have not seen it. It may make you smile or not. He was caught, he had no consequences, but obviously Marcus knows it well, it’s a move not to be made.”
