Barella: We must look ourselves in the face; Bonny and Pio had fever

Barella blamed errors and a lack of attacking depth after Inter's derby loss to Milan, citing illness affecting key players.

Inter captain Nicolò Barella spoke to Sky Sport after the derby defeat, acknowledging his side's poor performance. He said Inter paid for mistakes and a sluggish approach, adding that the team needed to look itself in the mirror. Barella pointed to injury and illness issues as contributing factors, noting that Bonny and Pio had both suffered from fever during the week. With limited attacking options on the bench, the manager's tactical choices were constrained, which Barella felt hampered Inter's ability to find their rhythm in the match.
