Despite a new goal from Marcus Thuram, Inter was caught by Torino (2-2), Sunday in Piedmont, and missed a first opportunity to be crowned Italian champion.

In the absence of Lautaro Martinez, who has only played one match in two months, Marcus Thuram is piling up the goals. For the third match in a row in Serie A, the French international shook the net, this time with a header from a cross from Federico Dimarco (23rd). His 12th achievement in the league this season, he who has only scored two goals in the Champions League.

Thuram was associated with Ange-Yoan Bonny at the forefront, but the young striker bought from Parma disappointed again. He gave up his place in the 61st minute.

Large leaders of the calcio, the Nerazzurri had the opportunity to be crowned Italian champions at the expense of Napoli and Yann Bisseck doubled the lead on the hour mark from a corner from Dimarco (61st).

However, Christian Chivu’s team collapsed in ten minutes, with a first goal signed by Giovanni Simeone, on a full-axis breakthrough from Toro (70th) then a penalty converted by Nikola Vlasic (79th).

With 10 points ahead of their Neapolitan runner-up, Thuram’s Inter have the opportunity to be crowned champion at Meazza when Parma comes next Sunday.
