Watch how Nicolo Barella proved why he is the perfect Inter captain in the future during the penalty drama in the Derby d’Italia against Juventus.
The 25-year-old Italian midfielder was one of the first to protest following the challenge in the penalty area and he ran over to tell Denzel Dumfries to ‘be careful not to enter the area’ ahead of Hakan Calhanoglu’s first attempt.
After that kick was missed, Barella jostled with Juan Cuadrado as he tried to explain to referee Massimiliano Irrati that four Bianconeri players had encroached into the box. His reaction after the penalty was awarded is the perfect display of his character.
