EXCLUSIVE: Marcus Thuram looks ahead to 'passionate' Supercoppa semi-final | OneFootball

Inter forward Marcus Thuram has revealed his delight at playing in Saudi Arabia ahead the Supercoppa Italiana semi-final with Bologna on Friday.

The Nerazzurri take on Bologna in Riyadh later this evening with the winner playing Napoli in Monday's final.

And Thuram has admitted he's excited to play outside of Italy in front of a fervent crowd at Al-Awwal Park.

"It's always great to play outside of Italy, we played this summer in America and it was great," he told OneFootball.

"We saw a lot of fans here too, so it's always great to travel around the world and see that we have so many supporters.

"They [Saudi fans last year] left me the same impression that all fans around the world have, that they're very passionate about our game and it's lovely to see."

Thuram is expected to start alongside Lautaro Martinez and will be hoping to add to his tally of eight goals in 18 appearances so far this term.
