Inter Milan ace Nicolo Barella was ‘instrumental’ in last night’s Champions League victory at runaway Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich.
Per numerous Italian publications via TMW, the diminutive midfielder delivered the performance of a lifetime at the Allianz Arena.
Simone Inzaghi put his trust in Barella, and the ex-Cagliari starlet refused to let his coach down.
Indeed, the 28-year-old helped Inter win the midfield battle against Bayern’s star-studded line-up.
Furthermore, he dominated Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka in stunning fashion.
Nicolo Barella Takes Spotlight in Inter Milan Triumph vs Bayern Munich
Nicolo Barella was so impressive that some Italian outlines put his showing last night among his ‘top-three career’ performances.
Indeed, his passes were clinical and often caused havoc in Bayern’s defense.
Furthermore, he never ran out of fuel despite covering more ground than any other player on the pitch.
Barella’s presence was essential in transition as he initiated virtually every counter-attack.
He released Carlos Augusto in space for Inter’s late winner with a defense-splitting pass between the lines.
Therefore, he earned broad plaudits for his heroics in Munich.
