Inter Milan Champions League Match Winner Delivers Verdict On Young Boys Win: “Goal Even More Important If Inter Win” | OneFootball

Marcus Thuram scored off the bench to inspire Inter Milan to a nail-biting 1-0 UEFA Champions League win against Young Boys.

During his post-game interview with Prime, as reported by FCInterNews, the free-firing French forward discussed several topics, including the importance of maintaining his scoring spree.

Simone Inzaghi gambled with his starting line-up, which nearly backfired at the Nerazzurri.

Indeed, seemingly unable to adjust to a synthetic pitch at the Stadion Wankdorf, Inter struggled against sub-par opposition.

Marko Arnautovic should’ve put the visitors in front early in the second half.

Handed a rare chance to start ahead of Thuram, the Austrian assumed responsibility for taking the penalty. But he fluffed his lines.

Arnautovic’s miss could’ve been costly had it not been for the Frenchman’s late heroics.

Thuram latched on to Federico Dimarco’s teasing cross to put the game to bed in second-half stoppages.

After drawing a blank in a 1-0 triumph against Roma, the 27-year-old opened his Champions League account.

More importantly, he led Inter to a crucial win.

“It was a tough match against a strong team and an incredible crowd,” Thuram said after the game.

“We’re happy with the win. Goals are always important, especially when the team wins. I’m very happy.”

Thuram used Dimarco as an inspiration for his goal celebration.

“It just came out like that, our fans were pushing us, and we gave them the win.”

The Inter talisman picked up a minor injury during a 3-2 win against Torino before the international break.

However, he’s seemingly back to full fitness.

“I’m good, now I’m going to do some blocks. I’ll go for a run because I didn’t play much.”

Inter will need Thuram at his best on Sunday when they take on Juventus in the latest edition of the famous Derby d’Italia.
