Thuram and Yamal clashed on Tuesday night in Inter Milan's epic Champions League semifinal win against Barcelona.
At the final whistle, Thuram was seen comforting his teenage opponent, though later in the evening he took to social media to remind the Barca starlet of a pre-match online claim.
'On a mission.', posted Yamal ahead of the second-leg in Milan.
Twenty-four hours later, Thuram reminded Yamal of his post: 'On a mission ehh!!', including two crying emojis, reports the Daily Mail.
The post was soon deleted and replaced by a new caption: 'Greatness recognises greatness'.

What Yamal achieved at the age of 16-17 is extraordinary to me

Thuram was nobody at 17. He should be ashamed that he is not even in the top 3 best world best footballers.
