The defending champion Inter Milan gambles away a two-goal tour in Parma, loses a regular player and ensures laugh with a Thuram goal.
Inter Milan failed his dress rehearsal for the Champions League duel with the German football record champion Bayern Munich.
The leader of Italian series A did not get past 2: 2 (1-0) at Parma Calcio three days before the quarter-final first leg on Tuesday (9:00 p.m.) in Munich.
In the halftime, defender Alessandro Bastoni had to be replaced. According to reports, the regular player should be fit for the game against Bavaria. The Gazzetta Dello Sport spoke of a precaution.
Slapstick scene around Thuram
With a win on Monday at FC Bologna, the SSC Naples can move up to one point to the defending champion.
Matteo Darmian (15th) and the former Gladbacher Marcus Thuram (45th) scored the goals for the guests, where international Yann Bisseck was in the starting eleven.
Thuram’s goal even caused amusement with his father Lilian in the stands. Because Thuram sent the ball from a short distance in an unintentionally high arc towards the goal. When the actually crashed conclusion lowered into the goal, a Parma player tried to scratch the ball in the air from the line – and shot himself when falling.
But promoted Parma did not give up and came through Adrian Garcia (60th) and Jacob Ondrejka (69th) to an important point in the relegation battle.
