Inter Milan forward Marcus Thuram spoke to the media in advance of tonight’s Coppa Italia semi-final showdown against Como.
In an interview with Inter TV, as reported by FCInterNews, the 28-year-old emphasized the importance of not becoming complacent.

Despite the absence of Lautaro Martinez, Alessandro Bastoni, and Yann Bisseck, Inter enters the match as the favorite.
A remarkable comeback saw the Nerazzurri secure a 4-3 victory over Como just two weeks ago.
This win is part of Inter’s impressive form, having won three consecutive matches in Serie A since resuming their season in April.
Since the break, Cristian Chivu’s squad has been in devastating form, scoring at least three goals in each of their last victories.
Thus, they will step onto the pitch with confidence, albeit without their influential captain in this crucial match.

Nonetheless, Chivu is bolstered by the recent resurgence of Marcus Thuram.
The French forward has been in scoring form, finding the net in three straight league outings, bouncing back from a slow start to the year.
Marcus Thuram Calls for Caution Against Como
Thuram, who was pivotal in Inter’s comeback against Como two weeks ago, is keen to avoid underestimating Cesc Fabregas’s team.
This caution is well-founded, as Inter struggled in the first leg, failing to register a single shot on target and posting a dismal 0.07 xG.
However, Chivu has since made tactical adjustments that have revitalized the team.
“I expect a serious match in front of our fans,” said Thuram. “Como are a very strong team that plays well.

“It won’t be easy, especially since they change formations often. Their coach is excellent at adapting.”
When asked about his aspirations for the rest of the season, Thuram affirmed: “I want to help lead Inter Milan to achieve every possible goal.”
A victory over Como tonight would propel Inter into the Coppa Italia final for the first time since 2023.
