Roma Triumphs Over AC Milan in Serie A as Balotelli Reacts to Criticism
In the opening match of Serie A’s 35th matchday, AS Roma secured a well-deserved 2-0 victory over AC Milan on Friday, extending their impressive run with a ninth consecutive win. The Giallorossi were dominant throughout the match, and Ivorian forward Gervinho played a key role, scoring Roma’s second goal. This victory not only strengthened Roma’s position in the league but also ended Milan’s own streak of five consecutive wins.
The match, however, was marked by drama off the pitch, with Mario Balotelli once again making headlines. The Italian striker, known for his fiery temper, was visibly frustrated throughout the game, particularly after being substituted. Balotelli, who struggled to make an impact on the field, found himself in a heated exchange with football pundits.
Criticized by former Milan player Giancarlo Marocchi for his lack of effort, Balotelli didn’t hold back. “You don’t know anything about football,” he fired back at Marocchi. His frustration continued as he directed his ire at Zvonimir Boban, a former Milan star and Sky Sports consultant, who had also offered criticism. “I don’t need your criticism. I think I’m a normal player, not a Fuoriclasse,” Balotelli responded, clearly unamused by the feedback.
Despite the off-field distractions, Roma’s clinical performance ensured that they took all three points, further highlighting the growing tensions at AC Milan.
