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.
