Marcus Thuram admits scoring for France gave him \u2018a confidence booster\u2019 that revitalised his Inter form, but won\u2019t say the Scudetto is won yet even after the 4-3 victory<\/a> over Como.<\/p>\n

This was a dramatic evening at the Stadio Sinigaglia, as Como had taken a 2-0 lead with Alex Valle and Nico Paz just before half-time.<\/p>\n

However, a pair of braces from Thuram and Denzel Dumfries turned it around to lead 4-2, eventually forced to suffer in the final minutes following a Lucas Da Cunha penalty.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was important to score just before half-time, it gave us the right spirit going into the restart,\u201d Thuram told DAZN Italia.<\/a><\/p>\n

The striker had struggled to find the net, but seems to have found a new lease of life after scoring on international duty for France, which he hadn\u2019t done since 2023.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was good to have a change of scenery, but above all to score for France, that gave me a confidence booster, and I\u2019ve taken it with me to Inter. Did I really score 10 goals? I usually do it a bit earlier in the season, but I got there eventually!\u201d<\/p>\n

With Napoli held 1-1 by Parma this afternoon and Milan losing heavily to Udinese, it puts Inter nine points clear at the top of the Serie A table with six rounds left to play.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing able to suffer and react as a team is a great sign, and this is a very important victory for us. However, until it is mathematically official, we cannot say anything has been achieved yet,\u201d noted Tikus.<\/p>\n

Inter will have to face Como again on April 21 for the Coppa Italia semi-final, as the first leg ended 0-0 here last month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Marcus Thuram admits scoring for France gave him \u2018a confidence booster\u2019 that revitalised his Inter form, but won\u2019t…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5444,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[4763,4568,4762,4760,4761,5,4566,3728,4765,335,4767,4764,4768,554,4766],"class_list":{"0":"post-5443","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-france","8":"tag-alex-valle","9":"tag-como","10":"tag-como-1907","11":"tag-confidence-booster","12":"tag-denzel-dumfries","13":"tag-france","14":"tag-francesco-pio-esposito","15":"tag-inter","16":"tag-lucas-da-cunha","17":"tag-milan","18":"tag-napoli","19":"tag-nico-paz","20":"tag-parma","21":"tag-thuram","22":"tag-udinese"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5443","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5443"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5443\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5444"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5443"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5443"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5443"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
