Viral video, Thuram asks for a photo of Lautaro Martinez's lookalike

Footballers are used to stopping in front of fans so they can take selfies with them and sign autographs.

But Inter star Marcus Thuram has done the complete opposite by asking a fan for a selfie so he can send it to his teammate Lautaro Martinez.

The scene that has gone viral online took place outside the training center in Pinetina, where a fan, who has become famous due to his resemblance to Lautaro Martinez, approached Thuram.

The Frenchman burst out laughing as he noticed Lautaro's lookalike and after making the traditional goal celebration gesture that the Argentine Inter captain makes on the pitch, he asked the fan to pose with him for a selfie using his phone.

One thing is for sure. That photo will end up with Lautaro Martinez, as he and Thuram are very good friends both on and off the pitch. (A2 Televizion)
