Barella has made 29 appearances across all competitions so far this season, for a total of 2036 minutes. In that time, he has scored three goals and provided six assists, showing an ability to score from outside the box. He suffered a knee injury earlier this season, which forced him to miss six games, but he quickly bounced back and returned to being a regular player in the starting 11.
