Dimarco's all-time Serie A assist record
Marcus Thuram could not help but to drop to his knees, take Federico Dimarco's left foot and polish his boot - the shoeshine celebration. A nod to Inter history, and to one of the club’s most iconic images. Back in 1997/98, Ronaldo scored relentlessly, and Francesco Moriero, often providing the assist, would rush over to shine his boots. He did it too for Alvaro Recoba on that unforgettable debut against Brescia Calcio.
So after paying tribute to Thierry Henry with his corner-flag celebration in Como, Thuram brought another gem from football’s memory back to life. It makes sense. “Tikus” was born in Parma in 1997, while his father Lilian Thuram was playing there, and spent eight years in Italy before the family moved to FC Barcelona. He grew up immersed in football and surrounded by Serie A stars, his father’s France teammates, and later Barcelona greats.
And after the opener against Torino, the shoeshine was Thuram’s way of saying thank you for yet another Dimarco assist. A delicate, perfectly weighted cross to the far post. A towering header from Marcus. A beautiful goal.
