Acerbi was superb home-and-away for Inter's stunning Champions League semifinal triumph against Barcelona.
And reflecting on the defender's performance, Kroos said on his podcast, Einfach mal Luppen: "If I had to choose between an alarm system, a German shepherd or Acerbi in front of the house, I would choose Acerbi.
"It's pure mentality. But (Denzel) Dumfries and (Alessandro) Bastoni are also machines: they turned the game around twice. Hats off to Barça too: an extraordinary advertisement for football, because it seemed like anything could happen at any moment."
He continued : "I don't want to say that I'm an Inter fan, but maybe the last ten years have really influenced me, so much so that I've been a bit against Barça. But in some ways I was happy for Inter, happy when the score was 3-3. The way the Barcelona boys play football, you really have to compliment Hansi Flick: it's simply a spectacle.
"But who was better? Both teams knew exactly how to hurt the other. Inter defended incredibly, but scored seven goals."

When you don’t like Barca you support any team that play against them

I really don't see anything incredible about a team that conceded 7 goals. Stop all this hype about Barca, they are the worst semifinal team ever.
Obviously you are a big fool…..Arsenal is the worsiest semi finalist we have seen in 20years,Barca put up a fight but Arsenal are just a walk over for a team that has never even won a champions league ,that’s shameful
