Inter midfielder Nicolo Barella’s rich vein of form in October has been the perfect symbol of the team’s heroics throughout the month of October.
This is the view in today’s print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, who highlight how the 25-year-old’s goalscoring exploits and overall performances have coincided with the team finding their best level.
Barella had not started the season at his best, whilst this was certainly also true of the Nerazzurri as a whole.
However, after the team kicked off their October in the worst way by losing to Roma to make it four losses from eight matches in Serie A, they have decisively turned things around.
Barella’s performances in the heart of midfield have been a big part of this.
The former Cagliari midfielder scored a vital goal in the Nerazzurri’s thrilling 3-3 draw with Barcelona at the Camp Nou, a vital result in securing their place in the Champions League knockout rounds.
Moreover, the 25-year-old followed it up by getting on the scoresheet in each of Inter’s Serie A matches following that memorable European night.
Barella’s goals against the likes of Salernitana, Fiorentina, and Sampdoria have capped off a run of all-action displays by the 25-year-old which have been a perfect symbol for the emphatic performances by the team as a whole.
