Inter Milan Vs Juventus – Worrying Statistic For Nerazzurri As French Brothers At Heart Of Derby D’Italia | OneFootball

Saturday’s Derby d’Italia will once again place Marcus Thuram at the centre of the spotlight, with the Inter Milan forward set to face his brother Khephren under the watchful eye of their father, Lilian.

The matchup has become a recurring subplot in one of Italy’s fiercest rivalries, as noted by FCInter1908.

Marcus enters the clash as a decisive figure in Inter’s title push, boasting 28 appearances, 12 goals and five assists this season.

Meanwhile his younger brother plays a key midfield role for Juventus as they chase Champions League qualification.

The last meeting between the siblings produced high drama.

Marcus appeared to have secured the result with Inter’s third goal before Khephren sparked a comeback, and the match ultimately swung away from the Nerazzurri.

The encounter added to a curious trend: the Juventus midfielder remains unbeaten against his older brother in Serie A, with two wins and one draw.

Despite that statistic, Marcus arrives as the more decorated sibling, already a Scudetto winner and a driving force in Inter’s domestic dominance.

His movement, physical presence and link-up play continue to define the Nerazzurri attack.

With millions watching and family pride on the line, the Thuram duel adds a personal dimension to a fixture already rich in pressure and consequence.

As La Gazzetta dello Sport notes, the “Derby d’Italia of the Thurams” has become a recurring saga, with Lilian never missing the chance to watch his sons face off.

Khephren joked that their father remains neutral, “or maybe he’ll support me a little more because I’m the younger one.”

Their previous showdown saw Marcus briefly put Inter ahead before Khephren helped ignite Juventus’ comeback, underlining how the family rivalry can intersect with decisive moments on the pitch.

For Inter, ensuring Marcus has the final word could prove pivotal.
