Juventus’s Thuram: ‘I celebrated like Pogba, my favourite player, I did it for him

Marcus Thuram scored his first goal for Juventus in a 4-2 win over Empoli and celebrated by mimicking Paul Pogba's signature dab move

The French forward, who joined Juventus from Borussia Monchengladbach in the summer, has been a revelation for the Bianconeri, scoring three goals in his first four Serie A games.

After scoring against Empoli, Thuram ran to the corner flag and performed Pogba's dab celebration, which has become one of the most iconic goal celebrations in football.

Speaking after the game, Thuram revealed that he had done the celebration for Pogba, who is currently out injured with a knee problem.

“I celebrated like Pogba, my favourite player, I did it for him,” Thuram said. “He's a great player and I'm a big fan of him.”

Pogba, who left Juventus for Manchester United in 2016, is a close friend of Thuram's and the two players have often been seen training together.

Thuram's celebration was a touching tribute to Pogba, who is currently going through a difficult time.

The French midfielder has been out injured since September and is not expected to return to action until the new year.

Thuram's goal will give Pogba a boost as he continues his recovery from injury.

It is also a sign of the respect that Thuram has for Pogba, who is one of the most talented midfielders in the world.

Thuram's celebration was a reminder of the close bond between the two players and the mutual respect they have for each other.

It was also a moment of solidarity between two friends who are both going through difficult times.

Pogba will be hoping that Thuram can continue to score goals for Juventus and help the team to win trophies.

If Thuram can continue to perform at the same level, he could become one of the best players in the world.

And if he can do that, he will make Pogba very proud.
