The Chelsea loanee even insulted his team-mate, telling him ‘Don’t do that again.’ What was he thinking?

Numerous accounts from Italy suggest that Lukaku was dissatisfied with Barella’s demeanor, as the latter tends to direct his frustrations towards his teammates instead of offering support, particularly in instances of mistakes.

It’s an issue that cropped up earlier this season but appeared to have disappeared ahead of Inter’s Champions League games against Barcelona at the end of 2022. The Lukaku-Barella Clash

As highlighted by Il Corriere dello Sport, Barella has continued to complain to his teammates in the last few games, leading to Lukaku’s reaction.

The Roma report that most Inter players are siding with the Chelsea loanee, but Simone Inzaghi has already warned that he does not want to see similar incidents again in the future.
