Nevertheless, the 29-year-old was replaced by Sandro Tonali six minutes later. Domestically, Barella has scored one goal and assisted once in five Serie A matches this season. With three goal involvements for club and country this campaign, the Inter Milan player has continued to play his part in the final third.
Scores in comeback win

Analysis: Barella turned in one of his most influential displays of the campaign in the win over Udinese, where his equaliser helped haul Inter back into a game the visitors had led early on. He was busier than at any point this season in the final third with three shots and five chances created, both season highs, and his recent output backs that up with seven shots and 12 chances created in his last four appearances across all competitions.

Provides first assist of season

Analysis: Barella set up Hakan Calhanoglu for the only goal of the contest, registering his first assist of the season. He was one of Inter's most influential creators throughout the match, producing four chances created and two accurate crosses while putting both of his shots on target. His combination of chance creation, shooting and defensive activity should keep him at the heart of Inter's midfield production throughout the campaign.
