Marcus and Khephren Thuram entered the San Siro tunnel at the same time and hugged each other following the Inter-Juventus warm-up.

Football Italia is among the accredited media at the Stadio Meazza as Inter host their domestic rivals, Juventus, in a key Serie A fixture.

It’s not just a meeting between two Serie A title contenders but also a reunion of the Thuram brothers, who will face each other for the second time in their careers.

The Thuram brothers entered the tunnel simultaneously after the warm-up on the pitch so they could hug each other before kick-off.

Khephren, a former Nice midfielder, said earlier this week that he and his brother were “happy and proud” to meet in one of the biggest games in Italian football.

Khephren Thuram joined Juventus last summer, while Marcus signed for Inter in 2023 and has already won a Serie A title at San Siro.
