Acerbi was excellent at home and away for Inter's beautiful Champions League semi -final triumph against Barcelona.
And thinking about the performance of the defender, Kroos said on his podcast, Einfach Mal Luppen: “If I had to choose between an alarm system, a German Shepherd or Acerbi for the house, I would choose Acerbi.
“It's pure mentality. But (Denzel) Dumfries and (Alessandro) Bastoni are also machines: they have turned the game twice. Also what Barça is: an extraordinary advertisement for football, because it seemed like something could happen at any time.”
He continued: “I don't want to say that I am an interfan, but maybe in the last ten years I really influenced me, so much so much that I have been a bit against Barça. But in some respects I was happy for Inter, luckily when the score was 3-3. The way the Barcelona boys play football, you really have to compliment Hansi Flick: it's just a spect.
“But who was better? Both teams knew exactly how they could hurt the other. Inter defended incredibly, but scored seven goals.”
