Barrera: I have dreamed of playing in the Champions League final countless times, and I have proved the strength of Inter Milan when playing against Barcelona

At 3:00 on June 1, Inter Milan will face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final. Before the game started, Barrera attended the press conference with coach Inzaghi.

Are you ready for such a game?

"You can't say 'this game'...but no matter what, we are ready, motivated, and have great respect for strong opponents. We deserve a successful season."

You have experienced midfielders, will this be the winner?

"Paris Saint-Germain's midfield is indeed very strong, just as the whole PSG is as strong as the whole team, otherwise they would not have reached the Champions League final. The midfield is their core. But as I have always emphasized, our strength comes from the overall team. We have proved against Barcelona that without a strong team and an excellent overall, we would not be able to play such a game."

How many times have you dreamed of such an opportunity since Istanbul on June 10, 2023?

"I dreamed of playing such a game countless times. Participating in such a game is the dream of every child. Such a game is the most difficult, but it can leave a deep mark and strong emotion in your heart. Last time we played a wonderful performance, but we failed to win. This time we will pay more attention to details. This trophy is the dream of our entire team."

What do you have to say to your teammates?

"I can only thank them. They gave me all the support and allowed me to grow as an individual and a player. Including those former teammates who have left the team, they have also left me with valuable wealth. I can only give my deepest gratitude and do my best to repay everything they have given."

What is the reason for choosing the third away jersey in this game?

"We discussed that there are several options, and we finally chose this yellow jersey. There is no special reason, I just like this jersey and hope it will bring us good luck."

What will you think about when the game tomorrow night?

"Same as when playing all games: longing for victory, longing for all teammates and all who support us. But there are always more thoughts at this moment than when we really set foot on the court, we must learn to keep all kinds of thoughts off the court, whether positive or negative."

Have you talked to Donaruma?

"We contacted each other yesterday and talked about topics such as family and national team, but we didn't talk about football. I am full of respect for Donaruma. He is my friend, and I am the same with all Paris players. I hope he can perform well."

How do you view Zelinsky and Zalevsky?

"I can only praise Zelinsky and Zalevsky. They are not only excellent players, but also great people. Zelinsky quickly integrated into the team, and we struggled when he missed certain games. Then I must praise Zalevsky. Although we are a team that is easy to get along with, he immediately showed a positive attitude after joining. If he can stay, we will be happy."

How long do you desire a Champions League goal?

"If you only rely on goals in your career, you may be very difficult... Goals are not all. If you can score tomorrow, I will naturally be extremely happy. But for me, the most important thing is to help my teammates achieve their goals."
