The second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Inter Milan narrowly defeated Barcelona at home. In this ups and downs, the old boy of the Nerazzurri Army tried his best. Facing opponents whose average age is 5 years younger than their side, they performed better in terms of running distance (147.51 kilometers-146.36 kilometers), and Barrera, the "leader" who scored 15 kilometers of data, made an indelible contribution.

all-round fighter, Serie A top midfielder with perpetual motion coverage, flying up and down between the two penalty areas, mastering everything from confrontation, interception, grabbing, passing, assist and shooting in the back. In addition to spreading hands and complaining, Barrera is a perfect midfielder. Against this era of the withering of outstanding Italian talents, Barrera has become one of the few first-class stars in the Blues' Legion, and the skills of the top Serie A midfielder have been fully proven in the past few years.

The top mid-zodiac generation came to take the lead, and the veteran has a barrier in front of him. In the game that has ended this season, Barrera played 48 times for Inter Milan and participated in 11 goals (3 goals and 8 assists). With this schedule extremely dense and most teams plagued by injuries, Barrera's Iron Man attributes and all-round skills seem so precious.

As the leader of Inter Milan's "Mesozoic" players, the 28-year-old Barrera has become the backbone of the team. With veterans like Archerby and Mkhitaryan around him, Barrera understands that he must rely on excess output to relieve the pressure on his teammates. The "team deputy"'s desire to win, sense of honor and sense of responsibility are impeccable.

8 all-round is impeccable, and the details must be crafted in the Serie A this season. In the rankings of eight data including assists, key passes, penetrating passes, successful penetrating passes, passing to the penalty area, crosses, accurate passes and passing to the penalty area, Barrera is the first among midfielders.

Barella has comprehensive capabilities, but the "small technology" level still needs further consideration. Taking this Champions League semi-final as an example, many of Barrera's pass choices have problems, because they have to compare skills with Spanish players and make mistakes in sticking the ball frequently occur. The excessive pursuit of "idealized passes" has caused him to miss the opportunity several times. In the final, facing the Portuguese midfielder (Vitinia & João Neves), who are also good at foot skills, Barrera needs to adjust her mindset and can no longer play balloons.
