#3 Nicolo Barella
The Italian started the game by rubbing a knee into Piatek’s ribs in the ninth minute. It was a sign of things to come from Inter, as Nicolo Barella brought both steel and finesse to the middle of the park.
The Italian’s vision and passing ability caught the eye and his mere presence in the final third gave the opposition continuous headache.
Barella was clever with his movements, popping up in various areas and picking up pockets of spaces behind the two strikers. His regularly whipped in dangerous crosses into the far post and one of those even led to a disallowed goal.
The Italian was effective with his closing down and continuously pressed the opposition in the final third. In the 78th minute, Barella ran into the left flank and sent in a measured cross towards Lukaku, who scored Inter’s second of the game and helped secure all three points.
