Notes
Mario Balotelli doesn’t make me feel like I’m watching any kind of movie. Mario Balotelli is a movie. This is, after all, a man who, two weeks after signing with City, crashed his Audi while carrying 5,000 pounds on him. When the police asked him why he was carrying such a knot, he responded, “Because I am rich.”
Nothing in his storied off-field career can match the whirlwind derby weekend he had. On Saturday night, Balotelli set his own house on fire while shooting off fireworks from his bathroom. On Sunday he was seemingly unstoppable, tormenting the United defense, getting Jonny Evans sent off, and scoring a pair of goals. Upon rolling his first past United keeper David de Gea, he revealed a T-shirt that asked, “Why Always Me?” After the match he was rumored to have been seen driving around Manchester in his Bentley, high-fiving City fans. Monday, he put the cherry on top when he participated in a PSA for fireworks safety. Because of course he did.
