Ex Italy Defender Rolls Back Years Vs Serie A Top Goalscorer In Atalanta 0-2 Inter Milan | OneFootball

Inter Milan veteran Francesco Acerbi enjoyed a superb game against Atalanta last weekend, helping his side to a 2-0 win.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, Acerbi’s performance against Mateo Regeui was headline-grabbing.

Indeed, despite being 37, the former Lazio defender fared outstandingly against Serie A’s best goalscorer.

Retegui headed into the match as the division’s most prolific striker, having netted 22 goals across the first 28 rounds.

However, he had a quiet game in Bergamo.

Acerbi’s showing was remarkable but not atypical for the experienced star.

Indeed, Simone Inzaghi has often trusted Acerbi to hold Inter’s backline tight this season.

But there’s no room for complacency, with a match-up against Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane waiting in the wings.

Meanwhile, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Yann Sommer also held up their end of the bargain.

While Sommer kept another clean sheet, Mkhitaryan reigned supreme in the middle of the park.

Both players are in the autumn of their careers but are playing like teenagers.
