Galliani: Balotelli is a changed man

AC Milan striker Mario Balotelli called Adriano Galliani to apologize after the draw with Frosinone.

Mario Balotelli phoned Adriano Galliani to apologize for his penalty miss immediately after AC Milan's 3-3 home draw against struggling Frosinone, the club CEO has said.

A thrilling Serie A encounter on Sunday saw Francesco Bardi save the striker's penalty, while he later hit the crossbar in stoppage time after Jeremy Menez had netted with a spot kick of his own to rescue a point for Cristian Brocchi's men at San Siro.

Balotelli is on loan from Liverpool and bidding to win a permanent move to Milan, with Galliani believing the 25-year-old's apology shows he is a changed man.
