Nicolo Barella made his third assist of the Serie A season when he found Lautaro Martinez after a strong run through midfield, meaning that so far he has assisted a goal in each of the Nerazzurri’s first three matches of the league season.

Football statistics account OptaPaolo highlighted the fact that this makes him the first Inter player to do so in more than fifteen years, showing that this is really a remarkable beginning of the season for the 24-year-old.

The tweet reads: “Nicolò #Barella is the first Inter’s player able to provide assist in each of his first three Serie A games in a single season since 2004/05 (since Opta collected this data). Artist.”
