Inter, a record-breaking Barella: 200 Serie A games at the age of 25

The Inter midfielder has closed the circle of the second hundreds of appearances in Serie A: in the era of three points no Nerazzurri had done it so quickly

You admire Nicolò Barella and feel physical vigor, talent, tactical intelligence and experience. The former Cagliari captain moves on the pitch with a considerable awareness and it is almost surprising to read his date of birth: 7 February 1997. The Inter midfielder six months ago therefore blew out 25 candles and it is therefore no coincidence that we can be alienated by comparing age and curriculum. Against Lecce, on Saturday night at Via del Mare, Barella crossed the finish line of 200 appearances in Serie A.
