Inter Milan midfield stalwart Nicolo Barella has experienced a steep drop in performance this season.
According to FCInterNews, the experienced midfielder has fallen well short of expectations this term.
Nicolo Barella has been the cornerstone of Inter’s midfield for years.
Indeed, the Italian star, who joined the club from Cagliari in 2019, has played a pivotal role under various managers.
After being part of Antonio Conte’s Scudetto-winning side in 2020/21, he won another league title under Simone Inzaghi in 2023/24.
However, the diminutive midfielder has been merely a shadow of his former self this season.
Stats Reveal Inter Milan Star Nicolo Barella Downturn
Once a key figure for Inter Milan, Barella’s recent form highlights a troubling downward trend, according to the data.
Indeed, Barella’s underwhelming form was one of the reasons Inter lost to Bodo/Glimt in the Champions League knockout playoff round.
He started seven of Inter’s nine matches at Europe’s top table this season, registering a dismal 85.38% passing accuracy.
For context, that’s his lowest ever accuracy in a Champions League campaign.
Moreover, he has netted just one goal in 25 Serie A appearances, with his last goal participation coming at the beginning of January.
Therefore, Barella’s current slump casts doubt on his capacity to drive Inter’s midfield.
barella did so many mistakes this season, he always wants ball around him, but his creativity is lacking, he always angry when his team mates doing mistakes, but he doesn’t realise his mistakes.
He tries to do everything ends up doing nothing and out of position.
not that bad in my opinion and deffo not our biggest problem if problem at all. his is one of us! He will come back on top!
u a bum!
He’s a disaster this year. Couldn’t have a shot on target even if his life depended on it. The only improvement in his game is his diving.
