Francesco Acerbi got angry during a meet and greet in the US[/caption]
During a fan meet and greet, Acerbi was cheekily reminded of the moment Bradley Barcola outfoxed him during Inter’s 5-0 humiliation at the hands of PSG in last month’s Champions League final.
Speaking via a translator, the centre-back was fuming with the supporter.
The translator sternly warned the fan: “You must be serious with him.”
Acerbi then let rip in Italian, blasting: “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.”

The Italy international still looked irritated as he moved along to take selfies with other fans.
Inter are looking to bounce back quickly from their Champions League mauling as they compete in the Club World Cup.
The Italian giants are playing under new manager Cristian Chivu, with Simone Inzaghi having left for Saudi side Al-Hilal.
Inter drew their opener 1-1 vs Monterrey, with Acerbi playing the full 90 minutes.

Acerbi was back in action in the Club World Cup earlier this week[/caption]
The defender was playing in his first match since the Champions League final, having turned down an Italy call-up.
Acerbi missed games against Norway and Moldova, as he felt “disrespected” by boss Luciano Spalletti, who has since resigned.
The 34-cap star wrote on Instagram: “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.”
Spalletti subsequently resigned following an awful 3-0 defeat in Norway, with Gennaro Gattuso taking over.
Inter return to action this evening, as they face Japanese side Urawa Reds in Seattle.
They will then conclude their group stage campaign by taking on River Plate at the same venue on Wednesday.
