Marcus Thuram’s fantastic performance against Como has received numerous praise, even from his captain, Lautaro Martinez, who watched the match from the stands due to injury. The Argentine striker did not hide his admiration for his attacking partner, commenting on Thuram’s social media post with three emojis, through which he praised the Frenchman’s exceptional form and performance.
In Lautaro’s absence, Thuram has taken on more responsibility in the blue attack. The clash with Como was his ninth consecutive start for the team in the league and Champions League. Since the last international break, the Frenchman has not started a single match from the bench.
His record is impressive: six goals, with the latest scored precisely against the side coached by Cesc Fabregas. But Thuram’s contribution is not limited to goals and four assists. He is constantly on the move, creates space for his teammates, gives depth to the play and becomes extremely dangerous whenever he faces opposing defenders.
Coach Cristian Chivu also had special praise for him, highlighting after the match at San Siro the importance and maturity the French striker has gained.
“Thuram has reached a status and a level that can be questioned only in Italy. He plays for the French national team and has shown everyone his qualities. There is still room for improvement, he is showing more and more leadership and he doesn’t make Lautaro’s absence felt,” Chivu stated.
The statistics confirm the excellent form of the 28-year-old. Thuram has scored five goals in four league meetings against Como. In Serie A, only against Torino does he have a better record, with seven goals in five matches. He has also scored five goals against Parma.
Meanwhile, during the calendar year 2026, the striker has been involved in 22 goals in 27 league appearances, recording 15 goals and seven assists.
