For the reception of Torino, Inter won (3-2) thanks to the hat-trick from Frenchman Marcus Thuram. An XXL performance for the international co-top scorer in Serie A.
It’s a performance that Marcus Thuram will remember for a long time. For his second season in the Inter jersey, the Frenchman scored his first hat-trick with the club, the second of his career. We have to go back to July 31, 2022 to see him score three goals during the same meeting, during a first round in the German Cup with Borussia Mönchengladbach. This Saturday, the opponent was tougher since Torino, 6th in Serie A, had a card to play to place themselves on the podium. But Thuram decided otherwise.
A great start to the season
Marcus Thuram started the 2024/2025 financial year perfectly by scoring a double on the first day of Serie A. Two days later, the striker did it again against Atalanta. It was logical that he had received the player of the month trophy for August. Silent since this match, despite an assist in the victory on the Udinese pitch, Thuram has found his way to the goal. Well helped by Maripan’s red card in the 20th minute, Thuram opened the scoring with a header from a serve from Bastoni (25th). 10 minutes later, the Frenchman doubled the lead for his team. This time, it’s Acerbi launched on the left side who delivers a caviar to Thuram, again scoring with a header (35th). While the visitors reduced the gap through Zapata (36th), Thuram got back to work in the second half with a hat-trick taking advantage of the Turin goalkeeper’s poor save (60th). With 7 goals in 7 Serie A matches playedMarcus Thuram dominates the scorers’ rankings alongside Retegui, the Atalanta player. Thanks to this victory, Inter comes back to two points behind Naples. Next meeting on October 20 after the international break, on the pitch of AS Rome to try to continue the good series.
