Barella, 28, does not dwell on the loss and believes his team can still achieve a strong finish to the season. "A defeat is always difficult to accept," he said. "We have many games left and fatigue is a challenge, but it's not an excuse. We must improve, especially when we have a strong attacking advantage.

Inter Milan is still in contention to win the treble, with upcoming matches against Barcelona in the Champions League semi-final and AC Milan in the Coppa Italia semi-final. Barella emphasizes that his team must stay focused and work hard to achieve their goals. "We must never feel satisfied, always striving to improve. We're fighting on multiple fronts, giving our best effort, and setbacks are tough to accept. A draw would have been a fair result, but nothing is over yet. We're still at the top of the table, alongside Napoli."

Barella acknowledges that the road ahead will be challenging, but his team is committed to competing on all fronts and will not give up.
