Champions League star Thuram sends promotion congratulations message
Yorkshire Evening Post
|May 03, 2025
Leeds United boss Daniel Farke received a congratulatory text message from one of the stars of this week's Champions League instant classic.
Marcus Thuram scored a sensational flick to put Inter Milan 1-0 up against Barcelona after just 30 seconds, making it the fastest ever goal in Champions League semi-final history. It was just the first of a series of incredible goals as the European giants played out a thrilling 3-3 draw in their first leg clash.
Ex-Leeds man Raphinha claimed an assist and forced an own goal on a memorable night that saw him surpass Lionel Messi’s 13-year record for Barcelona goal contributions in a Champions League season.
Thuram has a Leeds connection too, however. The 27-year-old, son of France international legend Lilian Thuram, scored 16 goals and added seven assists for Farke when the duo worked together at Borussia Mönchengladbach.
