Bradley Barcola sent Acerbi to the ground during the Champions League final
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 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.

Celtic transfer latest as Viktor Eriksson ‘pursuit' gets emphatic response and Ambrosino loan 'considered'
Brendan Rodgers is desperate to bolster his squad ahead of the coming season Serie A newboys Cremonese are reportedly weighing up a loan bid for Celtic target Giuseppe Ambrosino. The Italy U21 international has returned to parent club Napoli after a loan spell in Serie B with Frosinone last year but faces an uphill battle to force his way into the Scudetto winners' manager Antonio Conte's plans. Ambrosino was touted as a potential target for Brendan Rodgers last month, with the Irishman still on the hunt for attacking reinforcements ahead of the new season, with their huge Champions League qualification play-off now just weeks away. However, Cremonese have also been credited with an interest in the 21-year-old, and Il Giorno now claim that they are considering a loan swoop for the attacker. The report adds that the Cremona side are hopeful that their good relations with Napoli will allow them to seal a loan deal for the youngster. Meanwhile, Celtic have been told that Hammarby defender Viktor Eriksson is not for sale amid reports that the Hoops had sent scouts to watch the Swede in action. Parkhead Head of Football Operations Paul Tisdale is said to have taken in Hammarby's 2-1 away victory against Belgian outfit Charleroi on Thursday that booked their place in the third qualifying round of the Conference League, with Erilksson himself bagging the all-important winner in the final minute of extra time. Hammarby boss Kim Hellberg is unaware of any interest from Celts but insists that the centre back isn't going anywhere. Asked about the player's future after their win against Charleroi, he replied: "He's not for sale. "He has played every minute of these last four games. It is a very big moment for me too. "I have worked with him for four years in Varnamo, in Hammarby now. I have seen how hard he has worked, and developed as a person and a player. I am so, so proud of him."

Celtic manager on why Russell Martin will cope with Rangers pressure
Supporters of the Glasgow giants were underwhelmed when former MK Dons, Swansea City and Southampton manager Martin was named as Philippe Clement's successor back at the start of June. But the ex-Scotland internationalist has recruited extensively this summer and his new-look side defeated Panathinaikos of Greece 3-1 on aggregate in the Champions League second qualifying round last month. Read more: Rodgers, who is bidding to land a third consecutive Scottish title in the 2025/26 campaign, admitted that he was looking forward to pitting his wits against the ex-Norwich City defender in the months ahead. The Northern Irishman, who is in his second spell in charge of his boyhood heroes, feels the loan that Martin had as a player in Govan back in 2018 will prove invaluable to his counterpart in his new role. 'I think the challenge always excites you when you come into a new season,' he said. 'I don't know Russell that well, but I've spoken to him. As a young manager and coach through his career, he's done very well. I followed him at Swansea, as a former club, and he did well there. (Image: Craig Williamson - SNS Group) 'Then moving on, getting Southampton promoted is good. To take a team out of the Championship is hard. It's a tough, tough league. But he was able to do that. Obviously, then it was a difficult season for them in the Premier League, but that is a tough, tough league. 'But Russell, having been up here before, knows the pressures. One of the big things about managing Celtic and Rangers is managing pressure. The football idea and the coaching are obviously very important. 'It is important to have an identity and a style, but managing and playing under pressure is what's key up here. Russell, having been here before as a player at Rangers, will know what's in front of him.' Read more: Rodgers added, 'But I think the managers coming into the league make it exciting. Russell at Rangers, Derek at Hearts and Stuart at Killie as well. 'John [McGlynn] has done a brilliant job at Falkirk over a couple of seasons, getting them promoted twice. I know him well, so I know that they'll be giving everything to stay in the league. 'David Martindale is a good man who was in the league for a few years when I was here before. Livingston have come straight back up after getting relegated. Again, they are experienced managers. So I think the league as a whole will be strong and competitive.'
