Add BBN on 2BAFB965
The controversial forward is at it again after he broke a rule yesterday at the Europa league clash with besiktas in the last 32.
Mario Balotelli has thanked Jordan Henderson for letting him take the match-winning penalty in his side's triumph over Besiktas in the
Europa League, pleading for no more drama.
Balotelli struck the only goal of first leg of their last-32 tie from the spot in the 85th minute but injured captain Steven Gerrard slammed the Italian for disrespect after the game, claiming that stand-in skipper Henderson was on penalty duties .
In the lead-up to the penalty, Henderson had the ball but Balotelli took it off him and, with fellow striker Daniel Sturridge seemingly also interested in taking responsibility from the spot, the often criticised Italy international ignored any complaints from his team-mates to score.
Balotelli wrote on Instagram: "Thank you Hendo for let [sic] me take the penalty.. Stop drama now. We won that's what count. We are a team and we are Liverpool. Come on guys."
It was only the Italian's fourth goal of the season in all competitions since joining Liverpool from AC Milan but the 24-year-old is a
renowned penalty taker, having converted 21 in a row in his professional career before producing his first miss in 2013.
