Barella blames Liverpool penalty for Inter exit

Inter’s European journey came to a shuddering and unexpected halt at San Siro on Tuesday night as Norwegian minnows Bodo/Glimt pulled off a historic upset. Despite entering the second leg as heavy favourites, the Nerazzurri failed to overturn a first-leg deficit, eventually falling to a 5-2 aggregate defeat. While the shock result sent shockwaves through the football world, midfield talisman Nicolo Barella was quick to point the finger at a controversial officiating decision from months prior as the true catalyst for their downfall.
