Mario Balotelli, the AC Milan striker, seems to thrive on controversy and attention. In a recent incident, he posted a photo on Twitter holding a ping pong racket despite having a shoulder injury sustained during a Champions League match against Atletico Madrid. The photo showed him with two rackets and a ball in his mouth next to a ping pong table, accompanied by a comment boasting about his skills.
This drew criticism from Milan’s leadership, prompting Balotelli to apologize and clarify that he had not actually played, but rather posed for the photo. Despite the apology, Balotelli’s penchant for creating headlines and attracting attention seems to persist.
