Since his successful 2022 World Cup with the France team and his great season with Inter Milan, Marcus Thuram has become an integral part of the France team. So much so that a debate exists between him and Olivier Giroud to know who of the two should be the starter at the forefront of the Blues attack. Nevertheless showing respect for his elder who is playing his last major competition with France, the former Guingampais also braided a few crowns for Kylian Mbappé. Close thanks to their background, they both knew INF Clairefontaine, and due to their age (26 years old for the Milanese, 25 for the Madrilenian), the two men get along well on and off the field.

Present at a press conference this Monday, Marcus Thuram said all the good things he thought of the Bondynois: “Kylian in no way prevents the evolution of a 9 in the France team. It helps all the players. It’s easier to be complementary with great players. (…) When I was little at Clairefontaine, he was already commenting on my career and told me I would end up in number 9. He was right. Since the CDM 2022 final, I said that I stopped doubting Kylian, he is the best player in the world!» The message has gotten through: Marcus Thuram is totally under the spell of Kylian Mbappé!
