Berlusconi makes controversial comments about Balotelli

The outspoken Rossoneri supremo courted controversy once again on the 30th anniversary of his tenure by referencing the forward's skin color .

Silvio Berlusconi appears to have committed his latest faux pas in his role as AC Milan president, claiming Mario Balotelli was an "Italian who had spent too long in the sun".

The media mogul and former Italian prime minister celebrated his 30th anniversary as head of the Rossoneri on Saturday, and was interviewed to mark the occasion.

But he could not help once more making the headlines with controversial comments, as he referred to the Milan forward and his skin color.
