Barella after the derby: “Wrong approach, Milan deserved it”

The defeat in the derby left Inter with a clear realization. After the match on October 31, which ended with a 3-1 win for the Rossoneri, Nicolò Barella spoke at the press conference and addressed the team’s performance without excuses. The Inter midfielder acknowledged Milan’s superiority and the need to raise the level.

Barella called Inter’s approach to the match “wrong” and stressed that Milan “deserved” the victory. His direct comments also carried a collective message: the Nerazzurri must improve and regain greater effectiveness in the way they approach games. The number 23’s assessment came after an evening in which Inter conceded three goals and failed to bring the derby back level.

The schedule immediately offers a chance to react, this time on the European stage. On Tuesday, November 3, at 9 p.m., Inter will visit Feyenoord Rotterdam in the fourth round of the Champions League. After wins over Fiorentina and Venezia, 2-1 and 2-0 respectively, Chivu’s side must turn Barella’s words into a different performance in the Netherlands. The next Serie A fixture will be on Sunday, November 8, at 6 p.m. against Como at San Siro.
