意甲第24轮赛事中，AC米兰以3比1战胜国际米兰，赛后巴雷拉接受了意大利天空体育的独家访谈。
他坦言：“目前，我们正承受着个人及团队失误所带来的后果。正如我在胜利时刻所强调的，我们的比赛初期表现往往不尽如人意，有时甚至相当差劲，这一点我们必须努力提升。”
在我们以往的同城德比较量中，不乏有几场我们发挥出色却未能最终取胜的比赛，亦有一些表现不尽如人意的较量，却意外地收获了平局。在这类比赛中，我们的表现始终呈现出波动不定的态势。无论面对的是否是同城对手，我们都需保持诚实，正视彼此的实力。”
In the match that unfolded today, there was an evident opportunity for us to capitalize on our momentum. However, the squad faced a predicament as both Pió and Bony succumbed to fever, leading to a dearth of fresh talent upfront that constrained the coach's strategic options. Despite his attempts to shake things up, it was evident that attitude was the pivotal factor in such encounters. Our team had previously struggled to find its rhythm, only to recognize late in the game that exploiting the gaps between the defensive lines could be the key. Nonetheless, the formation itself held little significance.
