Thuram really has found his form at the right time after a difficult period, as he canât seem to stop scoring at the moment with four goals and two assists in the last three games.
âNothing has changed really, these are moments, I am in a good moment now, and thatâs good for Inter,â Thuram told Sky Sport Italia.
âItâs not done yet, weâve got to keep pushing and picking up points. We are a squad who like to play together and hanging out together, and you can see that when weâre on the pitch too.â
Barella did not want to celebrate scoring a goal against his hometown club, but Thuram forced a smile when giving the midfielder a piggy-back ride.

Inter went into this weekend with a nine-point lead at the top of the Serie A table, and it will at the very least remain intact going into the final five rounds.
Itâs no wonder the fans at San Siro unleashed the traditional chant of âwe will win the tricolorâ at the final whistle.
âItâs pleasing, last season was difficult and taught us a lot, but now we really need to win. Seeing this atmosphere recreated with our determination, commitment and hard work, itâs marvellous.â

This side is marching away with the Scudetto, because only four times in their history had Inter won 25 of the opening 33 Serie A rounds, in 2023-24, 2006-07 and 1988-89.
âStatistics only mean so much, because the important thing is to give everything youâve got on the field. I also want to compliment Pepu Martinez for his performance, it was not easy for him after what happened, we tried to be by his side, so he deserves this moment.â
Goalkeeper Martinez received a rare start today, but his season was affected by a tragic accident when an elderly man fell ill at the wheel and veered into his car.
