Experienced Inter Milan defender Francesco Acerbi is poised to take on the challenge of facing Bayern Munich’s prolific striker Harry Kane in the upcoming Champions League quarter-final match. This comes after Acerbi’s impressive performances against Manchester City’s Erling Haaland in recent encounters.

As Inter prepares for their crucial away match at the Allianz Arena, manager Simone Inzaghi is expected to rely on the 37-year-old center-back despite his full 90-minute appearance in Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Parma. Acerbi’s consistent form and ability to neutralize top-tier strikers make him a key player for this high-stakes fixture.

The veteran defender has built a reputation for effectively marking some of Europe’s most dangerous forwards. His recent success in containing Haaland during Inter’s matches against Manchester City showcases his defensive prowess. Additionally, Acerbi has managed to keep other notable strikers such as Romelu Lukaku, Moise Kean, and Mateo Retegui at bay in recent Serie A encounters.

Acerbi’s task against Bayern Munich will be particularly challenging, as he faces Harry Kane, who has been in exceptional form this season. The 31-year-old English striker has netted an impressive 34 goals in 39 appearances across all competitions for the German giants.

This quarter-final clash presents an opportunity for Acerbi to further cement his status as one of Europe’s top defenders, as he prepares to battle against yet another world-class striker in a high-profile Champions League fixture.
