Noted Italian journalist and Inter fan Fabrizio Biasin praised former Cagliari midfielder Nicolò Barella on Twitter yesterday following the Nerazzurri’s tough 2-1 victory over Hellas Verona.

The 22-year-old Italian midfielder, who joined the Nerazzurri this summer from the Sardinian side, scored the match winning goal in the 83rd minute, gifting three points to the Nerazzurri and helping them return to the top of the league table.

Biasin reminded fans of their scepticism about the purchase and praised his performance, saying: “”Costed too much? Beautiful things cost money.”
