Nicolo Barella has praised himself and his teammates for the way they performed in the 2-1 loss to Barcelona in the Champions League group stage whilst also sharing his regret to be leaving Spain empty handed.

“We came here to play and win, this is what the manager asked of us. I think we played with good personality throughout the game but of course there is of course the sadness to be going home without any points,” he remarked in a brief interview with UEFA.com post-match at the Camp Nou.
