Brescia striker Mario Balotelli hit back at Verona ultras, calling them “ignorant, small-minded people” and warning “this is not about football anymore.”
That prompted the 29-year-old to respond on Instagram: “Listen, my friends, this is not about football anymore.
“You are implying about a social and historical situation much bigger than you small-minded people. You guys are losing it. Wake up, you ignorant people.”
His defence also included repeated instances of the racial slur ‘n***o’, as well as the claim that the Azzurri striker could never be completely Italian.
“But when Mario scored and still guarantees to score goals for Italy, you were fine with it?”
