According to fcinews, Barella stated that he is not looking to prove himself and is always ready to play for Italy.

It is still difficult to say whether this new Italy national team, led by Roberto Mancini, resembles the team that won Euro 2020. Barella said: "It will take time. We had a good start, apart from the first match. Perhaps we are still a bit rusty and still burdened by the pressure of what happened in previous months. We have all proven that we want to do better than before and win back the trust of the Italian people."

When asked if he wanted to prove himself after being benched for the match against France and missing the match against Turkey, Barella said: "It's not about proving myself. I know who I am and what I can bring to the national team. I know how my teammates see me, and as long as the coach decides, I am always ready to play. The most important thing is that Italy wins and plays well, so we can regain the passion of wearing the blue jersey."

Speaking about the match against Turkey, Barella said: "It was indeed a long break, which we are not used to. We have some tasks to complete, and we are doing that. This match is very important to prove that what happened in the previous matches was not a fluke. Turkey has struggled after their recent matches, and we will put all our energy into the game to try and win."
