Marcus Thuram, the Inter striker and French national team player, spoke in an interview he gave to GQ magazine as their 2024 Man of the Year.
The former Borussia Mönchengladbach player explained the origin of his nickname, Tikus:
"They call me Tikus because when I was little, my family combined the end of petit, which means small in French, with the end of Marcus, which is cus, and that's how Tikus was born. My idols? In football, Adriano; in sports in general, probably Muhammad Ali."
Marcus Thuram revealed what he considers his most beautiful goal and something he would never do:
"The one I scored against Milan in the first derby. The hardest thing I've ever done in my life was scoring a goal against Maignan. The one thing I would never do? Support Milan."
