Inter Milan’s Scudetto Dreams Rest on Barella vs Juventus
Inter take on Juve in a massive Serie A clash — and Niccolò Barella might be their secret weapon.
There was a time when Juventus owned this fixture. Not anymore.
Under Cristian Chivu, Inter have flipped the narrative — and now they’re not just contenders, they’re front-runners. Sitting top of Serie A, they’re hunting a second Scudetto in three years with confidence and control.
But don’t count out Juve. Igor Tudor has instilled a new edge — younger, sharper, more resilient. Dušan Vlahović is finding form, and Randal Kolo Muani is settling in as a serious threat.
Still, this clash may be decided in the engine room. Nicolò Barella has been the heartbeat of Inter — relentless in the press, precise in transition. When he clicks, Inter dominate. If Juve can shut him down, the momentum swings.
It’s more than a derby now. It’s a battle for control of Serie A.
