MARCUS THURAM has admitted he has one major regret as he follows in his dad's footsteps.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Inter Milan striker is the son of French World Cup winner Lilian Thuram.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

His father also won the Euros with Les Bleus, with his illustrious career including spells with Monaco, Parma, Juventus and Barcelona.<\/p>\n

It was during the final two years of his career at Barca that the defender would play with Lionel Messi.<\/p>\n

The eight-time Ballon d'Or winner even once gave Thuram a pair of boots after he visited his dad at training.<\/p>\n

However, the 26-year-old has now revealed he gave the boots away the next day, an act he regrets over 15 years on.<\/p>\n

"At the age of 10, I went to see my father training at Barca, and I didn\u2019t have my boots with me," he told DAZN Italia.<\/p>\n

"Messi was young, and after training, I wanted to go on the pitch with the other kids to play.<\/p>\n

"Leo was almost the same as me: I wore 38, and he 40-41. He left me his shoes, I played, then he said \u2018keep them\u2019.<\/p>\n

"At 10-years-old, I didn\u2019t realise what had just happened, and the next day, I gave them to a friend. I regret it every day."<\/p>\n

Messi played alongside Thuram's father 39 times at Barca before the Frenchman retired in 2008.<\/p>\n

He has since come up against the Inter star in his career, though, with Thuram assisting Kylian Mbappe's second goal in last year's World Cup final.<\/p>\n

That appearance was one of 13 caps for France for the forward, who joined the Serie A giants from Borussia Monchengladbach in the summer.<\/p>\n

Thuram has so far scored five goals in 16 appearances in Italy, including a strike in a 5-1 derby win over AC Milan in September.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, his younger brother Khephren is also a France international, making his debut back in March.<\/p>\n

The Nice midfielder was strongly linked with a move to Liverpool earlier this year.<\/p>\n
