Inter Milan striker Marcus Thuram says Borussia Monchengladbach has him well prepared for last season's Serie A success.

He told AS: "Between Gladbach, a team for which I have profound respect and to which I am grateful for many things, and Inter I discovered new things, even a lot more pressure and a new stadium I gave everything to adapt quickly.
"Inter is another dimension, because you start the season with the aim of winning Serie A and if that doesn't happen it's a problem. A failure.
"It's clear that all the players who come to train have a clear objective. I also noticed a difference in mentality, because every match with Inter is important, every minute is fundamental to try to win the Scudetto."
