The spotlight-loving Italian was a minute late entering Nice's clash with Nantes due to a bizarre moment when he needed help with his boots
Sometimes, you just know it’s going to be one of those days. Mario Balotelli probably felt like that on Saturday afternoon, when he trotted out for Nice’s Ligue 1 encounter against Nantes more than a minute after the match had kicked off.
The Italian had been named in the starting XI for Lucien Favre’s side, but he did not take part in the action for over 90 seconds due to a problem with his shoe laces.
