"They are referring to the human towers wearing the Inter and Milan shirts, with no expiration date other than the one printed on their contracts. They can make history with a play, a goal, or even a decisive tackle. Bisseck, Thuram, Bastoni on one side, Pavlovic, Bartesaghi, and Rabiot on the other. Atop the world's tallest league - with an average height of 184.7cm on the pitch - Serie A has no rivals."
"On the pitch, as we know, the size of a giant can be expressed in various ways. Cristian Chivu's Inter, for example, excels in the way that leads to goals. The Nerazzurri make their height count when it comes to putting pressure on the opponent's area and the results prove them right, since nobody in Serie A this season more headed goals than Inter (5). A header from a 1.90m tall defender (Bastoni) opened the celebration."
"The specialist in the house is Thuram, the man who at 192cm is second only to Bisseck, 196cm. When Marcus celebrated his first brace of the 2025-26 season, on his debut against Torino, he smiled as he looked towards the stands and then explained that 'my dad Lilian and my brother Khephren often laughed at my headers'. Marcus Thuram scored very few headers, then the tide changed: four of his five goals this season have come from his head."
Inter and Milan feature exceptionally tall lineups, referred to as 'San Siro towers', whose physical presence can alter matches with plays, goals, or decisive tackles. Key tall players include Bisseck, Thuram, Bastoni, Pavlovic, Bartesaghi, and Rabiot. Serie A has an average on-pitch height of 184.7cm, making it the tallest league worldwide. Inter convert height into goals, leading Serie A with five headed goals this season. A 1.90m Bastoni header opened a scoring run that has seen the league leaders score in every match. Marcus Thuram, at 192cm, has scored four headers this season, and Lautaro has also been effective in aerial duels.
