A spectacular comeback and a huge victory. Inter's three points in Como were sealed by Thuram and Dumfries, but once again, it was Barella's contributions that inspired the goals today. Two assists for Thuram, bringing his total to eight in Serie A this season, and he continues his run of goal contributions, with three assists and one goal over his last four games. After Como went 2-0 up, Barella drove forward and played a key role in the build-up to Thuram's goal. Then, in the second half, he set up the equaliser. A crucial playmaker.
Equally important was Carlos Augusto coming onto the pitch at the start of the second half in place of Bastoni. Carlos Augusto put in a solid performance against dynamic and fast-paced opponents. His play was full of defensive interventions, and that fighting spirit matched with composure.
These were Barella's and Carlos Augusto's comments after Inter's victory in Como
“We probably could have won without emotions running so high, but Como are a strong side, and it's very tough to come here; we had to dig deep and give something extra in the second half. It proves that we're a strong team, one that still has that hunger to win, and nothing is decided yet. Was I angry about the second goal? I get carried away in the heat of the moment. It's normal to be behind when you come here, but the response that we gave was one of a very strong team. We knew it would be difficult. We've won this match, but we need to carry on like this because the teams behind us aren't too far away. We are still in control of how this could turn out, and we'll try to maintain this level of performance. ”
Nicolò Barella
“This is an amazing win; it's never easy playing here. We demonstrated our drive today, this drive to win. There are matches where you're more in control, and others that play out differently. We have six games to go, and we haven't won the title yet. I trust my teammates, the group, and the staff. Our objectives are clear. We'll play Como again in the Coppa Italia: we'll be at home, and we'll have to give our all if we want to reach the Coppa Italia final. ”
