Inter Milan defender Francesco Acerbi misplaced his cool after a Membership World Cup fan carrying a Paris Saint-Germain shirt in Seattle taunted him about final month’s Champions League closing, with the Italian threatening to beat him up if the teasing continued.
The fan introduced up a humiliating second from Inter’s 5-0 defeat by the French champions in Munich, during which Acerbi was left sprawling after some dazzling footwork by Bradley Barcola.
On a video that went viral on social media, the visibly irritated Italian worldwide sought the assistance of a translator throughout a meet-and-greet with followers. The translator instructed the fan in English on Thursday: “You have to be critical with him.”
Seconds later, Acerbi stepped in to say in Italian: “I am critical. Do not make enjoyable of me — I do not prefer it. … I am loopy, I will beat the crap out of you.”
Acerbi then shortly moved on, posing for pictures with different followers.
Inter weren’t instantly accessible for remark.
