‘Unplayable’ France FIFA World Cup Star Decisive In Inter Milan 3-0 Monaco Champions League Win | OneFootball

Even without a goal, Marcus Thuram was decisive for Inter Milan in yesterday’s 3-0 Champions League win over Monaco.

As TuttoMercatoWeb note, the player ratings for the match across Italian media hail the “unplayable” Frenchman for his impact.

Thuram led the line for Inter alongside Lautaro Martinez yesterday evening.

The France international has been in fine scoring form all through this season. He has really sharpened up his instincts and finishing ability in the penalty area.

However, Thuram was not able to grab another goal yesterday.

Nevertheless, the 27-year-old showed just how important his contribution can be even without getting himself on the scoresheet.

Marcus Thuram was the player who won the penalty for Inter to take an early lead yesterday.

The Frenchman terrorized Monaco’s backline with his pace and movement. And he forced former Juventus and Chelsea midfielder Denis Zakaria to bring him down in the penalty area.

It was Thuram’s strike partner Lautaro Martinez who stepped up to take the resulting spot kick.

Then, Thuram gave Inter Milan another big boost by causing Monaco defender Christian Mawissa to see red.

Therefore, the 19-year-old received a straight red card for a blatant dragback after Thuram was clear on goal.
