Labeled as one of the worst AC Milan acquisitions, Francesco Acerbi had to continue his career at Genoa and then Sassuolo.

During his time there, the center-back fought and beat cancer. He returned to the field as a different man and earned a move to Lazio.

At the age of 35, he was brought to Inter to fill in for Stefan De Vrij and be an additional option in the rotation.

Not only did he secure a regular place in the starting XI, but it's strange to say that he is probably one of the best defenders in the world right now.

Haaland experienced his defending firsthand, and it seemed like Acerbi kept him well under his pocket.

Fear of Haaland? “After beating cancer, I learned to live without fear”. This is what he said before the game!

He was ridiculed at Milan, triumphed over cancer, came back stronger, and almost won the Champions League with Inter as the leader of their defense.

An absolute inspiration, someone we can look up to as an example...

WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU ACERBI, THE FIGHT GOES ON! 👏
