Marcus Thuram was injured, but still managed to get plenty of attention for his touchline antics when Inter beat Atalanta 4-0.

The striker is out of action with a thigh injury and sat on the sidelines near the bench rather than higher up in the VIP box.

Cameras were on him when he sat open-mouthed watching teammate Lautaro Martinez curl a left-foot finish around an Atalanta player into the far top corner from the edge of the area.

Thuram decided to imitate the referee when the Atalanta goal was chalked off for Aleksei Miranchuk’s handling offence.

He was also happily filming the scenes in the stands on his phone, uploading them to his Instagram Stories.

Of course, the real reason he was there is that he could just walk straight into the pitch and join the celebrations after the final whistle.
