<p>Thuram received praise for going over to comfort Yamal after Inter's Champions League semi final win over Barcelona but, as per <a href="https://www.sportbible.com/football/football-news/champions-league/marcus-thuram-mocks-lamine-yamal-inter-milan-barcelona-229346-20250507" target="_blank"><em>Sport Bible</em></a>, he soon changed his tune by posting on Instagram "On a mission ehh!!" with two laughter emojis, in a reference to his opponent's pre-match post stating that he was "On a mission" to get to the final. The Inter star then swiftly deleted the post.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Marcus Thuram consoled Lamine Yamal and did him dirty on IG 🤣🤣🤣 <a href="https://t.co/MNR2SZ0NDY">pic.twitter.com/MNR2SZ0NDY</a></p>— Referees Robbing Real Madrid (@BadLaligaRefs) <a href="https://twitter.com/BadLaligaRefs/status/1919891351618863136?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 6, 2025</a></blockquote>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Thuram made history for Inter in the first leg against Barcelona, scoring the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/watch-champions-league-history-inter-marcus-thuram-fastest-ever-goal-semi-final-barcelona/blt1f2ce8c24d1b1d07" target="_blank">fastest goal in Champions League semi-final history</a> in an entertaining 3-3 draw. He then helped guide his club into the final following a dramatic 4-3 second-leg victory after the extra time, before rubbing salt in Barca's wounds by mocking Yamal on Instagram.</p><p></p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Thuram joined Inter just weeks after the club's defeat at the hands of Man City in the 2022-23 Champions League final. Since then, he's regularly shone for the Serie A side in the Champions League, scoring four goals in the competition en route to this year's final.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Yamal has suffered a difficult couple of days, with Barca's Champions League exit sparking a backlash online. The 17-year-old Barca forward has understandably been hyped up massively over the last year, but ex-France star Florent Malouda <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/lamine-yamal-told-lionel-messi-cristiano-ronaldo-comparisons-are-too-much-barcelona-wonderkid-risk-erasing-personality/blt6886df04b779ae8a" target="_blank">recently warned against putting too much pressure</a> on the teenage winger. Right now, he needs to keep his head down and focus on delivering Barcelona the La Liga title for 2024-25, with a huge Clasico encounter against Real Madrid up next.</p>
