Thuram and Barella: ‘Inter love playing together, difficult spell taught us a lot’ Marcus Thuram and Nicolò Barella assure ending the season empty-handed ‘taught Inter a lot’ and their friendship is helping them march towards the Scudetto now. The Nerazzurri were a little sluggish in the first half and struggled to break Cagliari down, but ran riot after the break when stepping up a gear. The deadlock was broken when Federico Dimarco rolled across his 15 th assist of the season for Thuram to tap in, then Barella blasted in the loose ball moments later.
Piotr Zielinski sealed it in style during added time by rifling a scorcher into the top corner for 3-0.
