Francesco Acerbi soaked up the limelight as a headline performer in last night’s breathtaking clash between Inter Milan and Barcelona.
Per Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews, the 37-year-old earned the highest rating for his world-class performance.
Despite being 37, Francesco Acerbi remains the pillar of Inter’s backline.
Last night, his leadership skills, defensive prowess, and newfound goalscoring instincts took center stage.
Indeed, he played a pivotal role in Inter’s 4-3 victory, providing a crucial equalizer late in the game to force extra time.
Francesco Acerbi Impresses in Inter Milan Win vs Barcelona
Acerbi rolled back the years to contend with Europe’s best-performing frontline as if he were in his prime.
Moreover, he dealt with Robert Lewandowski, who entered the final toward the end of regulation, with remarkable composure.
At 37, many might expect the veteran to slow down, but Acerbi continues to defy expectations.
Right up there with the ex-Lazio star was head coach Simone Inzaghi.
Unfazed by the recent criticism, the 49-year-old demonstrated his value to a sold-out San Siro.
This one is for you, Okechukwu Okoro. This is what experience brings. Keep calling management daft. Keep calling Serie A daft. In the mean time, this team of veterans defeated the youth you’re so in love with. These kids made Acerbi look like a prime Van Basten in the box.
thank you Bruno. I “daftinitely” couldn’t say it better.
LOL
judging by his name, probably you’re arguing with African. FYI, most African countries are very poor and less educated except South Africa and it’s scientific proven so don’t waste your time with them next time
