Parma Home 1997/98 Thuram Match Worn – Size XXL

Description

In Serie A, Parma, led by Carlo Ancelotti, finished in sixth place, qualifying for the UEFA Cup. The league campaign was characterised by an up-and-down trend, with a series of victories and defeats that prevented the team from fighting for the top positions.

In the Coppa Italia, Parma reached the semi-finals, where they were eliminated by Juventus. In the Champions League, however, the campaign was interrupted in the group stage, where the team failed to advance from the group.

Lilian Thuram‘s season was undoubtedly positive. The French defender established himself as one of the pillars of the team, providing high-level performances both in the league and in the cups. Thuram, who arrived at Parma in the summer of 1996, quickly became a point of reference for the defence, thanks to his physical strength, speed and ability to read the game. Thuram’s statistics in the 1997-98 season testify to his performance: the French defender made 32 appearances in the league, also scoring one goal. In the Champions League, Thuram plays 6 matches, while in the Italian Cup he takes the field on 4 occasions.
