Scandal, cost Liverpool 20 million, hit coach, now he's leaving team

Undoubtedly football brings out the best or worst in players, very few can live with this pressure, such is the case of Mario Balotelli who more than a decade ago surprised the world with his talent, the same that was extinguished over the years. Super Mario arrived at Anfield in the summer of 2014 after the club paid 20 kilos to AC Milan.

In two spells, he scored less than ten goals and was one of the worst signings, as expectations were too high for the Ghanaian-born, Italian-born player. He wore the number '45' on Merseyside and left through the back door, full of injuries and doubts. Mario had perhaps his best years at Milan and Manchester City, where he had one of the worst moments of his career.

The controversial Mario Balotelli lived an inexplicable moment at Etihad when the words crossed with his coach Mancini exceeded the intensity and turned into blows. That's right, Mario lost his head, as he has done over the years, and the clearest example was a few weeks ago in Sion.

Low momentum

Recently Balotelli's last team was relegated, the Italian striker being one of the worst signings in the club's history. Balotelli a few weeks ago disguised himself as Pikachu and didn't hesitate to apply the thunderbolt to one of the fans who identified him, taking photos of him and Mario immediately went for the fan's mobile phone, the club's sporting director Barthélémy Constantin intervened and a black eye ensued.
