VIDEO: Classic Mario Balotelli! Notorious ex-Inter & Man City striker casually throws FIRECRACKER in Adana Demirspor dressing room

Balotelli, known for his eccentric behaviour both on and off the pitch, caused a stir with a daring prank involving a firework in the dressing room. The 33-year-old Italian striker, who has previously played for elite clubs like Inter Milan and Manchester City, left his teammates and staff stunned as he casually lit and threw a firework across the dressing room during a moment of levity.

The incident, captured in a short clip, showed Balotelli and a fellow player covering their ears after igniting the firework, while others around them reacted with shock and surprise. This latest escapade adds to Balotelli's colourful history of antics, cementing his reputation as football's notorious "bad boy."

Balotelli's penchant for pyrotechnics is not new. During his time at Manchester City, he made headlines when his house caught fire just before a crucial match against Manchester United in 2011, following a reckless display of fireworks with friends. Despite the chaos, Balotelli famously responded on the pitch by scoring and revealing a t-shirt with the now-iconic message: "Why Always Me?"

Currently with Demirspor in Turkey, Balotelli's tenure at the club has been eventful, albeit marred by a knee injury that limited his playing time. Despite the setback, Balotelli has managed to make an impact on the field, scoring 5 goals in 9 games for the club since the start of the season. He will be back in action against Konyaspor on Saturday in the Super Lig.
