June 28, 2012, which was expected to be a dream day for Mario Balotelli (33) and Italy, turned into a nightmare for the German national football team and its fans. After scoring his second goal against Germany in the European Championship semi-final, Balotelli takes off his jersey and reveals his muscular body in a fierce look. Italy won 2-1 and advanced to the European Championship final. The image of the muscular man Balotelli circulates all over the world; The then 22-year-old is suddenly recognized even by fans who are not interested in football.
From then on, “Super Mario”, as Italian fans called him, became famous, but even before that: he had a contract with Inter Milan from 2007, winning the Serie A three times in his first three seasons, the Coppa Italia twice and In the Champions League in May 2010. After scoring 28 goals in 86 official matches, he was transferred to Manchester City in the English Premier League in the summer of 2010. Even back then, Balotelli had a reputation as a scandalous striker who was always talked about not only on the field but also off it. In Italy, they even created their own word for the striker’s sometimes chilling moves: Balotellata.
Bad Boy Prom does some of this in the British Isles. In March 2011, he allegedly threw darts at a young player at the Carrington training center for fun. In the autumn of the same year, he set off fireworks in the bathroom of his Manchester flat, triggering a fire brigade operation. Sometimes he refuses to leave the dressing room, fights with teammates, fights for free kicks or flashes stud signs in the faces of his opponents (also interesting: Mario Balotelli’s scandal files).
But even away, Prom always remains on the edge, and often beyond the boundary. The enfant terrible is a car fanatic through and through, he loves expensive and fast cars and doesn’t always take the law too seriously. While still at Inter Milan, he is said to have crashed into a speed camera at 300 km/h in his Maserati! He was allegedly towed away 27 times in Manchester in the first year alone, received an average of three (!) parking tickets a day, and paid fines totaling over 11,000 francs.
Peanuts for the then Citizens superstar, who was involved in a car crash in Manchester just five days after signing the contract. When asked why he was carrying 5,000 pounds (about 6,500 francs at the time) in cash in the boot of his Bentley Continental GT, Balotelli replied: “Because I’m rich.” Just a few months after another accident, Balo took his newest baby to the club grounds in Manchester in the autumn of 2012. Another Bentley Continental GT, but not in white but in camouflage livery. Cost: 200,000 francs – at least as provocative as the striker himself: “Has anyone seen my car?” Balo joked on Twitter later today.
After three years in Manchester, Bad Boy Balo is transferred to Italy’s AC Milan for a season; We will return to England, to Liverpool FC, in 2014. During the change, Balotelli imported his beloved Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. When it was launched in 2012, the super sports car was the fastest road-legal Ferrari of all time, producing 740 hp from its 6.3-litre V12 engine. 0 to 100 km/h in 3.1 seconds, top speed 340 km/h. According to the Daily Mail, at the time of his transfer to Liverpool, Balo owned at least one Audi R8, a Lamborghini Gallardo and a Maserati GT, in addition to the super sports car costing over 300,000 francs and the 575-horsepower Bentley Coupé.
After unsuccessful seasons at Liverpool and AC Milan, Balo bounced back at OGC Nice, scoring 43 goals in 76 appearances from 2016 to 2019. After that, things get tough for former mega-talent Balotelli: from Marseille (F) to Brescia (I), then via Serie B team Monza to Adana Demirspor in Turkey. There will be a transfer coup for FC Sion in 2022. After the initial enthusiasm, daily disappointments also follow for the Prom in Valais: with just six goals in 18 league matches, the often disappointing superstar cannot prevent Sion from relegating to the Challenge League in the summer of 2023.
Last escape in November: During a visit to his hometown of Brescia, he crashed his black Audi RS Q8 into a house wall, staggered and refused to take a breathalyzer test for police. According to the Sportmediaset portal, it is said that the police have punished Balotelli. The consequences of the last crash? So far unknown.
In the spring of this year, Balotelli revealed on Italian pop superstar Fedez’s (34) podcast “Muschio Selvaggio” that he had somehow lost his passion for fast cars. Ferrari, Lamborghini and others have already been sold. «I still have an Audi RS Q8, an Abarth 500 and a 1,400-horsepower Nissan GTR Nismo in my garage. But now I’m selling the Abarth too.” Will he really avoid fat cars in the future? Probably not. Just two weeks after the accident, Bad Boy Balo was spotted driving a Ferrari 812 Superfast and a Mercedes-AMG S63 Coupé in Milan.
