He's since moved on, completing a summer transfer to Lazio and he's continued to feature in the heart of the defence.

In fact, he recorded a staggering statistic after starting for Lazio against AC Milan.

He started his 139th consecutive match. What's more, he's played in every minute according to Football Italia.

Acerbi has plied his whole professional career in Italy. He made his name at Sassuolo but has also spent time at Chievo, Reggina not to mention a spell at AC Milan.

Phenomenal achievement.
