Mario’s mess...

>> Car crash
Just days after signing for City, Balotelli hits the headlines after crashing his Audi R8 en route to the club’s training ground. Balotelli is found to be carrying £5,000 in cash at the time of the accident and when police ask why, he reportedly replies: “Because I am rich.”

>> Dart-throwing incident
Balotelli again hits trouble after it emerges he threw a dart at a City youth team player. No one was hurt in the incident and he escapes punishment.

>> Fireworks incident
A firework is set off in the bathroom of Balotelli’s home, triggering a fire. The next day, he scores in the Manchester derby and reveals a T-shirt reading: “Why always me?”

>> Richards clash
Balotelli attracts negative headlines after pictures emerge of a training-ground bust-up with teammate Micah Richards.

>> Parker clash
Balotelli was charged with violent conduct by the FA after stamping on the head of Tottenham’s Scott Parker during a match.u00a0
