The Nerazzurri midfielder, best on the pitch against Manchester City, embodies all the values and qualities of the team.
Barella was awarded MVP (Man of the Match) after Manchester City-Inter Milan, a giant in the middle of the champions Guardiola in front of the audience of Etihad stadium.
Nicolò Barella has proved once again to have reached the top even on the international pitch.
The Sardinian midfielder embodies all the values and qualities of the Nerazzurri, he is the soul and symbol of the team.
So writes the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera: "The Etihad stadium, the home of Manchester City, «is a funereal, they felt only the Italian supporters» as the former goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel said, who is a legend of United.
But the evening, among thrill and regrets for wasted opportunities, Inter Milan enjoyed it all the same.
Nicolò Barella was his soul: with the captain's armband until the entrance of Lautaro, "Bare" (nickname of Barella) is increasingly the symbol of this team, because he matures from year to year, because he knows when to attack and when to defend as the greatest midfielders and because it interprets in the right way all the matches.
Also those that come soon after, like the derby on Sunday evening: «But this performance was not a message to Milan - explained Wednesday night Nicolò - we were thinking only of City».
And to this brand new Champions he said: «To be honoured to the maximum, with the ambition to win».
These are not phrases, but panoramic photos of the season that begins to be defined".
