Nicolo Barella admits that after today’s Champions League final humiliation against PSG, Inter Milan have to “roll up our sleeves.”
The 28-year-old spoke to Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, via FCInterNews, after the 5-0 thrashing.
Inter Milan came into this evening’s match with a chance to make history.
And in a sense, that’s what the Nerazzurri did. They lost a Champions League final by the widest margin of any team in history.
From the first minutes, Inter struggled to cope with the pace, intensity, and precision of Paris Saint-Germain.
The Nerazzurri chased shadows trying to win the ball back. Then when they were able to get possession, they looked sloppy and rushed.
Meanwhile, defensively Inter put up little resistance against a PSG team who were ruthless and direct.
The end result was a Champions League final loss that was very different from that of two years ago.
Whereas Inter had lost by the narrowest of margins against Manchester City in 2023, this evening they never had a hope of getting a result against PSG.
Barella: “Inter Milan Have To Roll Up Our Sleeves” After PSG Humbling
After the match, Inter midfielder Nicolo Barella admitted that “there’s massive disappointment.”
“Because the image that remains from this final cancels out some of what we’ve done to get here.”
“In football, as in life, it’s the final moments that stay with you,” Barella said.
“But I’m still extremely proud of the team, and of what we’ve put out on the pitch.”
“Then, there are trophies, unfortunately,” Barella rued.
The 28-year-old still maintained that “I’m extremely happy to be part of this group.”
“We’ve pushed to the maximum.”
“Congratulations to PSG,” Barella said. “They were stronger than us in every way.”
“Football is like this. Sometimes you get a smack.”
“We have to recover, though,” Barella insisted. “Roll up our sleeves, and try to bring Inter back to where it deserves to me.”
“We’ve always pushed ourselves to the max this season. In all competitions.”
“The win didn’t come. But I’m still really proud of the work we’ve done.”
Let’s be honest. PSG was and is built on fake overinflated sponsorship deals and corrupt oil arabs circumnavigating financial fair play rules. It was never a level playing field. But the paid off UEFA and FIFA officials turn a blind eye to what EVERYONE else can see because they are greasing their palms with Arab money and loose women.
The fact that Inter has had to lose to Man City (under 115 charges of financial doping and fake accounting pending….which is being bogged down by the endless funds of Arab lawyers) and now PSG just means that WHEN we finally can prove these so called clubs have been cheating the systems then Inter will be given these two trophies that they lost to these cheats.
Inter needs to buy faster defenders next season. not damien, bastoni and acerbi, psg are too fast for them
I honestly think this was our last chance in an UCL final for a decade. We lost both our chances like Juve and Atletico in the 2010s.
We all thought that after losing to M.City. We had the luckiest draw ever.
Now we beat Bayern and Barcelona to get in another final.
Nobody knows.
