MARCO MATERAZZI looked trendy as he donned a cool, £450 Burberry top during the tour of the World Cup trophy.

Materazzi’s most recent trip saw him visiting Belgrade in Serbia, where he was seen in a £450 Burberry wool top.
He enjoyed a trophy-laden career as he starred for both the Italian national team and Inter Milan.
