Forward Marcus Thuram has ended a significant goalless streak for the French national team, finding the net for Les Bleus for the first time since 2023. This breakthrough goal could signify a crucial turning point for the player, who has been grappling with his form not only internationally but also with his club, Inter.
Prior to this recent strike, Thuram had only managed two goals at the senior international level for France. His last goal for the national side came during the emphatic 14-0 victory over Gibraltar in November 2023. What followed was a frustrating period of 17 consecutive matches without scoring for his country, a drought that finally concluded this evening.
Thuram Ends Scoring Silence Against Colombia
Thuram netted France’s second goal, contributing to a 2-0 lead against Colombia in a friendly match. This game serves as a warm-up as teams prepare for the upcoming 2026 World Cup, which will be hosted across Canada, Mexico, and the USA.
The struggles with goal-scoring have not been exclusive to his international appearances. Thuram has also experienced a challenging period with Inter recently, having scored only in the first Champions League game of the season against Ajax in September 2025. In Serie A, he registered just one goal since January 11, drawing blanks in 14 of his last 15 club games. This goal for France offers a much-needed boost and a hopeful sign for an improvement in his scoring form.
