AC Milan’s newly acquired striker Mario Balotelli has received a warm, Italian football welcome from club vice president Paolo Berlusconi. At a political meeting near Milan, Berlusconi called the black Italian striker “n***** di famiglia,” or “the family’s little n*****.”

In recent days, rumors regarding Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli’s transfer to AC Milan have been heating up. Today they were confirmed, Balotelli heading back to Italy for a £19.5 million fee and a contract through 2017. But we’re more interested in The Sun’s report (and pictures!) of some Manchester United fans pissing on Balotelli’s car and bare-assing the back window.

Welp, luckily, the Manchester City striker has managed to get over his pain and go back to doing Mario Balotelli things: namely, running up insane bar tabs and dating ridiculously attractive women. The world is back to normal. Everybody, chill.

Mario Balotelli might not be a Euro Cup champion, but he’s still a winner in our eyes. See why, after the jump.

Mario Balotelli, a 21-year-old striker for Manchester City, “had to escape from his burning house after a fire caused by letting off fireworks in the bathroom” earlier this week.

After scoring a goal to put Manchester United up 1-0 in a friendly over the Los Angeles Galaxy, Mario Balotelli wanted to have some fun. What followed was an embarrassing attempt at hot dogging.
