When he plays like he did against Ajax, there are very few in the world who can offer the same quality and impact on their team. Performances like these sweep away any (unnecessary) controversy, because they are overshadowed by a player capable of evolving and being devastating even in another fundamental aspect: aerial play.

Before this season's start, Marcus Thuram had only scored three headers in his entire career. From August to now, however, he has already found four goals in this fundamental aspect, embellished by the splendid double at the Johan Cruijff Arena. A significant leap in quality, which confirms his growth and full integration even in an aspect where Inter continues to dominate in Europe: set-piece goals.

Like last year, Marcus has started strong this season as well: three goals in Serie A, two in his Champions League debut, for a total of five. For example, Lautaro - who actually didn't play yesterday - has only scored once in the league, against Torino.

📲 The absurdity of social media

And to think that in recent days, after the defeat with Juventus, Thuram was overwhelmed by that hate-fueling machine called "social media". On X, in fact, in the post Juve-Inter, there was hours of discussion about the frame showing the two Thuram brothers talking after Adzic's match-winning goal, with the Inter player laughing.

"Get rid of people like this from my Inter", "You can be as strong as you want, but you don't care", "Absurd scenes", these are just some of the posts from many Nerazzurri fans furious with their striker.

Well, who knows how these same fans reacted last night to Marcus' two headers... Because then, beyond social media, there is reality and today it tells us that Inter can hardly do without its number 9. With or without laughter.

If we want to focus on the event itself, it can only bring a smile to see two brothers - both very strong - face each other as opponents as if they were in the local field, and not at the Allianz Stadium playing the Derby d'Italia. Football, after all, is a game and Marcus and Khéphren continue to prove it every time they meet.
