After a difficult return to Serie A, Balotelli’s adventure in Brescia was cut short by controversies and a falling out with patron Massimo Cellino.
A story on Instagram by the former striker started like this: “Curva nord, do you know how many things I have to tell you about, ‘you know who’?”

After a difficult return to Serie A, Balotelli’s adventure in Brescia was cut short by controversies and a falling out with patron Massimo Cellino.
A story on Instagram by the former striker started like this: “Curva nord, do you know how many things I have to tell you about, ‘you know who’?”
Balotelli was in the stands at the Rigamonti when Monza beat Brescia 1-0 on Monday, and he was met by a banner saying: “Balotelli, there are other players who loved this city. For us you are worth zero, a man without dignity.”
The former Italy international decided to respond to the Brescia fans on social media.
“My performances last year were, I agree with you, not by Mario standards and I did my ‘mea culpa’, but I can tell you that they were also very influenced by this character who unfortunately doesn’t love this city and sure doesn’t love these colours and he certainly doesn’t love you.
“I have been silent until now, precisely because I have the dignity and love for this city and it’s colours.
“I’m sorry it’s over, but the truth is that Brescia was, is and will always be my home and Brescia will always have my respect.
“Perhaps this banner (I can also understand it since you are unaware of what actually happened internally) would have been more correct to write to ‘you know who’.
“Because he’s the person with no respect even for his players. Good night and Brescia forever in the heart. However, I love you,” he concluded.
