Barella hails Inter Milan's positive attitude in hard-fought draw against Man City

Barella expressed his desire for the team to achieve more in Europe this season after winning the Scudetto last year and falling short in the Champions League.

“We are growing, we earned experience along the way and that helps. We reached the Final two years ago, our ambition is to do it again, then in football anything can happen.

“Today against a very strong team we proved that we can play on the same level. In the end, incidents then decide the results.

“I liked the attitude, because after a not very good performance against Monza, we could’ve come here with tension, but instead we gave 200 per cent and that is the mentality we need to go all the way.”
