— Sep 18th 2024The words of the Nerazzurri midfielder, named Player of the Match in the clash against City
European night, night of champions: champions like Nicolò Barella, who has accustomed Nerazzurri fans to masterful performances in the Champions League over the past few years. Facing a top-level opponent like City required a total, flawless performance, just like the one Nicolò delivered. At the end of the match, he was awarded UEFA's Player of the Match.
“This game comes from a team that dominated the league and aims to achieve more in the Champions League this year compared to last season. We reached the final two years ago, and we continue to work hard, growing and gaining experience. We are players who want to win, as is expected when you play for Inter. We’ve shown that we can compete even against a top team like City. I was impressed by the attitude; after a less-than-stellar performance, we could have come here feeling blocked, but we gave it 200%. That’s crucial if you want to go all the way in every competition. No message for the derby yet; we’ll think about it from tomorrow and prepare for it in the best way possible.”
