Marcus Thuram made his first start since mid-September.
Despite a lengthy absence, he emerged as one of Inter’s standout players on Sunday.
In addition to striking the post in the first half, the talented forward won a penalty for his team.
Unfortunately, Calhanoglu’s penalty attempt was saved by Mike Maignan.
Overall, Thuram delivered an impressive performance and is expected to team up again with Lautaro Martinez this Wednesday.
Chivu’s squad will face Atletico Madrid in a crucial Champions League match tomorrow, with Thuram projected to start.
