The Thuram brothers enter the history of the Serie A

Marcus and Khephren Thuram each scored a goal during the completely crazy Ialia derby between Juventus and Inter this Saturday (4-3), marking a rare event in Serie A: it is only the third time in the history of the Italian championship that two brothers find the net in the same meeting. The thuram thus joins a very exclusive list of siblings that have succeeded in this feat.

Previously, only Istvan and Ferenc Nyers had done it for Inter against Lazio in 1949, then Lorenzo and Roberto insignia for Benevento against Naples in 2020. This record not only highlights family talent, but also the rarity of this type of performance in the history of Italian football. This must make Papa Lilian Thuram proud, which was also present at the Allianz Stadium this evening.
