Marcus Thuram scored a brace in Inter Milan’s 2-0 win over Ajax to equal a Champions League feat set by Hernan Crespo in 2002.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, the Frenchman matched Inter’s impressive European milestone last night.

Four days after his controversial Derby d’Italia appearance, Marcus Thuram won back the fans’ trust.

Indeed, the 28-year-old bounced back from recent criticism to inspire the Nerazzurri to a vital victory in Amsterdam.

Marcus Thuram Equals Hernan Crespo Feat in Ajax 0-2 Inter Milan Win

Back in 2002, Hernan Crespo scored two headers in Inter’s win against none other than Ajax at this venue.

Little did the Argentine know that no Inter player would head home twice in a single Champions League match for over two decades.

However, Thuram achieved the same milestone last night.

To make it more exciting, he replicated Crespo’s achievement in Amsterdam.

Furthermore, Inter thrived without Lautaro Martinez.

Indeed, El Toro was on the bench due to a back problem, with Francesco Pio Esposito starting in his place.
