‘I’ll beat the S*** out of you!’: Furious Inter Milan star Francesco Acerbi threatens fan in feisty exchange after being taunted over Champions League final defeat by PSG

Inter Milan defender Francesco Acerbi threatened a fan in a PSG shirt after being taunted about last month’s Champions League final. 

The Serie A side were thrashed 5-0 by Luis Enrique’s men in last month’s final – the heaviest defeat ever recorded in the final of the competition. 

During the latter stages of the match, Acerbi was left sprawling after some dazzling footwork by Bradley Barcola – and a fan in Seattle reminded him of the moment. 

On a video that went viral on social media, the visibly annoyed Italian international sought the help of a translator during a meet-and-greet with fans. 

The translator told the fan in English on Thursday: ‘You must be serious with him.’

Seconds later, Acerbi stepped in to say in Italian: ‘I´m serious. Don’t make fun of me – I don´t like it. … I´m crazy, I´ll beat the s*** out of you.’

Acerbi then quickly moved on, posing for photos with other fans.

The latest controversy surrounding the 37-year-old comes just weeks after he turned down a call-up for Italy’s World Cup qualifiers – accusing Luciano Spalletti, who was later sacked, of disrespecting him. 

Acerbi posted on social media: ‘It’s not a decision I have taken lightly. However, I believe that in light of recent events the conditions aren’t there today for me to go forward with serenity. 

I demand respect. If that respect is lacking from those who should lead the group, I prefer to step aside. 

‘I won’t stay where I’m no longer truly wanted and it’s clear I’m not part of the coach’s project.’ 

Acerbi’s Inter will return to action against Japanese side Urawa Reds in their second Club World Cup match on Saturday.
