( pony88 )Amazon Prime Sports analyst Clarence Seedorf has paid tribute to Inter Milan striker Marcus Thuram, who was a force in the team of the match in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final, which ended in a 4-3 extra-time win over Barcelona yesterday, making it hard to believe he was just recovering from an injury. pony88

Thuram has recovered from a muscle injury and was able to play in the first leg of last week’s 3-3 draw, scoring once, before resting in Serie A and playing the full 120 minutes at the Giuseppe Meazza. 

Although he did not score or assist, he was able to put pressure on the opposing defenders so that they did not dare to push too high. He kept the ball, held it off, and bought time for his teammates to come in and add to the attacking game, which was a perfect match for his tactics. 

This is why the former ‘Big Snake’ midfielder had to praise the French striker for his quick recovery, as if he had secretly played a good trick. 

“Speaking of Marcus Thuram, we must not forget that he only returned to action last week, after two training sessions,” Seedorf said.

“Last night, that guy played a full 120 minutes. The way he played in the last 15 minutes of the game, it showed his special power.” 

“When the game ended with Inter advancing to the finals with a combined score of 7-6, it was considered the end of the exciting period!” 

“Overall, the first half of the ‘Big Snake’ was luxurious, the second half of Barcelona came back to fight with full spirit, but what impressed me was that Inter never gave up.”
