According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, the Frenchman matched Inter’s impressive European milestone last night.

Four days after his controversial Derby d’Italia appearance, Marcus Thuram won back the fans’ trust.

Back in 2002, Hernan Crespo scored two headers in Inter’s win against none other than Ajax at this venue.

Little did the Argentine know that no Inter player would head home twice in a single Champions League match for over two decades.

However, Thuram achieved the same milestone last night.

To make it more exciting, he replicated Crespo’s achievement in Amsterdam.
