In an Allianz Stadium in merging, Juventus signed a resounding success against Inter Milan (4-3) on Saturday evening, after a completely crazy match. After two inaugural victories, the bianconeri of their new Croatian coach confirmed their dynamics by delivering a first period full of intensity and character. Worn by an already decisive Lloyd Kelly and then by a missile from Kenan Yildiz, Juve was able to respond to the return of Hakan çalhanoğlu and join the locker rooms in the lead. The second period was even more spectacular: the Inter seemed to have done the hardest by taking advantage of the advantage thanks to çalhanoğlu and Marcus Thuram, before Juventus, driven by its incandescent audience, egalized by Khéphren Thuram, then prevailing in additional time thanks to an Adžić missile. A Hitchcockian scenario that electrified the whole country.
If this derby will remain in the annals, it is largely thanks to the thuram. The two sons of Lilian illuminated the meeting each in their own way. Marcus, first, giving the advantage to the Inter of a raging head. Khéphren, then, responding six minutes later with a whim as powerful as it is outstanding to put Juve back to height and restart the Allianz Stadium. Two almost twin gestures, savored in the stands by an emotional father filmed by the cameras. The two brothers became, on Saturday evening, the third brothers in the history of Serie had to score in the same match, after the Nyers in 1949 and the badges in 2020. A rare sequence which placed the surname Thuram at the center of all conversations.
Two brothers and a big controversy
But behind this family postcard, an image aroused controversy: that of a Marcus Thuram seeming to sneer with his brother at the very moment when the Var examined the decisive goal of Adžić. Jerseys in front of the mouth, a brief secret conversation, and that smile interpreted as a provocation by part of the tifosi Nerazzurri, who had not already digested the absence of celebration of the intensive striker on his own goal. And according to information from Gazzetta dello Sportthe management of Inter Milan did not appreciate this scene at all. On social networks, some have shouted at “Non -professional attitude”others defended it by recalling that the revision concerned a possible fault of Khéphren and that it was simply a family exchange. Khéphren, he spoke after the match to defend his elder: “He congratulated me on the look. He was proud of me but disappointed with the goal “he assured at the microphone of Dazn. At a press conference, Cristian Chivu kicked in touch when the subject was put on the table by visibly furious Milanese journalists: “I do not know the context, I have not seen anything, but let's stop arguing, because we must not always put sticks in the wheels”.
While Inter Milan is gradually moving the scent of a crisis on the horizon, the fire involving Marcus Thuram will quickly have to go out. Beyond the controversies, this evening will remain as one of the most symbolic moments of the Italian season. Khéphren Thuram embodied seriousness and concentration to the end, urging Juve to “pull himself out” after his goal. Marcus, despite the defeat and the media whirlwind, confirmed his weight in the attack on the Inter. And Lilian, in the stands, enjoyed the moment, witness to an unprecedented duel between his two sons at the top of Serie A. The Italian derby did not only deliver a crazy scenario: he also told a family story, sports rivalry and mutual respect, which will remain in the memories of supporters as observers of Italian football.
