Marcus Thuram can't stop scoring headers. After four games, he's surpassed his tally from last year and equalled a 23-year-old club record.
A look here at why Thuram is key to hopes of an Inter revival after their worst start since 2011

Men's Serie A is back after the international break, and we had @aksmackenzie.bsky.social in place at the Stadio Olimpico for Roma vs Torino!

The giant TV screens are up. The open-top bus parade is planned. The trophy has gone south.
Naples is ready for another Scudetto party - one that would send Scott McTominay into Napoli's pantheon of greats
www.tntsports.co.uk/football/ser...
The Scudetto, European places and 2/3 relegation spots are yet to be decided going into the final round of an unforgettable Serie A season.
For @destinationcalcio.bsky.social, a guide to what every team needs on a huge weekend here in Italy
From shrines to tattoos, Scott McTominay has already achieved hero status in Naples.
Now he can drink the elixir of Neapolitan immortality by winning the club's fourth Scudetto - one that he has been the driving force behind.
Legend status is at Lewis Ferguson's fingertips.
A piece for @dailymail.co.uk on what winning tomorrow's Coppa Italia final here in Rome would mean for this record-breaking #Bologna side and their Scottish skipper

I joined CNN earlier to look back on the beautiful chaos of Inter v Barcelona last night and answer the question - can they now finish the job in the #UCL final?
Apologies to superstitious Interisti, but I've gone and bigged up their chances...
I'll be joining Good Morning Scotland on BBC Radio Scotland shortly to look ahead to tonight's UCL semi-final in Milan after a half-decent first leg

๐ Ranking the Serie A run-ins
With four rounds to go, Inter and Napoli are locked in a Scudetto duel for the ages, and six teams are fighting for the remaining two UCL spots.
So who - on paper - has the best and worst run-in?
www.tntsports.co.uk/football/ser...
Inter's trip to Barcelona tonight comes at a bad time. It follows the worst week of their season, a run of three straight defeats that torpedoed triplete hopes.
Here's a look into what has gone wrong ๐
#BarcaInter #UCL
www.tntsports.co.uk/football/cha...
Inter went 11 games unbeaten on the road at the start of the season, and won 8 in a row.
But since a 3-0 collapse to Fiorentina in Feb - their heaviest loss in six years - Inter have one league away win in seven.
50 games into a marathon season, the fatigue is showing...
If #Inter fail to win the Scudetto, their defeat to Bologna won't be pinpointed as the single thing that lost it in the way it was three years ago.
However, it did highlight one thing that could - their nosediving away form ๐

A chance for Baroni to lead Lazio to just their 3rd Euro quarter-final in 22 years in the first Euro campaign of his career.
They've got a 2-1 lead to cling onto, and the big team news is that Castellanos is fit to start after being so badly missed

HT Roma 2-1 Porto (3-2 agg.)
Samuโs superb overhead finish after a Roma mix-up gave Porto a dream start, but two moments of Dybala brilliance in the space of five minutes have turned this back in Romaโs favour. He hadnโt scored in the UEL before tonight but heโs turned up big time here
#RomaPorto
Roma's home form in the #UEL is formidable: W23 D5 L2 in last 30 games stretching back eight years.
Only 1 defeat in their last 16 at home, winning 14, with 10 clean sheets in that time.
And don't forget if they win tonight, it's a 50/50 chance of drawing Lazio tomorrow...
