Fastest goal in Champions League semi-final history: Thuram’s audacious 30 seconds flick seals it

Marcus Thuram‘s fitness doubts were forgotten in the blink of an eye as he scored the fastest goal in Champions League semi-final history, netting within 30 seconds for Inter against Barcelona.

The French forward’s audacious flick from Denzel Dumfries’ low cross left Barcelona goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny with no chance, giving Inter an early lead in the high-stakes match.

Thuram’s goal was a much-needed boost for Inter, who had struggled without their No 9 in recent matches.

The 27-year-old’s return from injury proved timely, as he reminded Inter why they were so desperate to rush him back.

Although his goal doesn’t come close to the fastest in Champions League history, it set the tone for a thrilling match in Catalonia.

The match between Inter and Barcelona was an instant classic, with six goals scored in a thrilling 3-3 draw.

Thuram’s early strike was just the beginning, as both teams created chances and scored crucial goals.

The match was a testament to the attacking prowess of both teams and the high level of competition in the Champions League.

While Thuram’s goal was the fastest in Champions League semi-final history, it doesn’t hold the record for the fastest goal in the competition.

That honour belongs to Roy Makaay, who scored for Bayern Munich against Real Madrid in 2007 after just 10.12 seconds.

Thuram’s effort, however, will be remembered as one of the most significant and thrilling moments in recent Champions League history.

The 3-3 draw between Inter and Barcelona sets up a thrilling second leg, with both teams knowing a win or a draw could be enough to progress to the final.

Inter’s result is a lifeline for their Serie A tittle ambition, which seemed to be slipping away after a series of goalless defeats.

Thuram’s impact will be crucial in the second leg, as Inter looks to overcome Barcelona’s strong team and reach the final.
