Khephren Thuram Dedicates Goal Celebration to Brother After Juventus Win

MILAN, Italy – Khephren Thuram dedicated his goal celebration to his older brother, Marcus, following Juventus‘ 2-0 victory over Hellas Verona in Serie A on March 3, 2025. The midfielder broke the deadlock with a well-placed finish in the 72nd minute, assisted by Andrea Cambiaso, marking a significant moment in a challenging match.

Teun Koopmeiners sealed the win for Juventus shortly after, capitalizing on a tight angle to double the score. “It was important to score a goal, as Hellas Verona are a very defensive side that defend well, but we are very happy to have scored the second one too,” Thuram said in a post-match interview with Sky Sport Italia.

The celebration reminiscent of his brother’s encouraged an emotional reaction. “I did it because my brother is my idol,” Thuram added. Marcus currently plays for Serie A rivals Inter Milan, and has been an inspiration to Khephren throughout his career.

This victory marked Juventus’ fifth consecutive win in Serie A, putting them just six points behind league leaders Inter. Looking ahead to their next match against third-placed Atalanta, Khephren expressed a cautious optimism regarding their title ambitions. “As always, we take it one game at a time and want to win as many matches as we can for the rest of the season,” he said.

His teammate Kenan Yildiz also spoke about the team dynamics, emphasizing their commitment to unity. “Thuram and I are great friends. We are professionals, always giving our best, and we want to keep doing so,” Yildiz stated.

As Juventus prepares for this crucial match against Atalanta, the players maintain a focused mindset on continuing their winning streak and solidifying their position in the Serie A title race.
