Juventus great Alex Del Piero is happy seeing Marcus Thuram succeed with Inter Milan.

Thuram was Sunday's matchwinner against Roma.

Del Piero played with Thuram's father, Lilian, at Juve and recalled to Sky Italia: "I saw him as a child, he is an extraordinary boy in terms of commitment and determination,

"After a somewhat difficult start, now he scores every Sunday and makes the difference. Then there is also the midfield which is extraordinary, Inter also play as a champion team even if it didn't win either the Scudetto or the Champions League.

"They gained awareness from Istanbul."
