Mario Balotelli gave Adana Demirspor fans a laugh when pretending to smoke after a lighter was thrown onto the pitch during a match against Fenerbahce.
After a difficult season in Switzerland, the 33-year-old Italian striker has rediscovered his form with Adana, netting seven goals in 11 Super Lig appearances this campaign. He missed 12 consecutive games due to a knee operation, but his goalscoring work has continued nonetheless.
The striker shared a video on his Instagram story showing him pretending to smoke on the pitch during Adana Demirspor’s 4-2 loss to Fenerbahce on Wednesday, accompanied by the caption: “Don’t throw lighters on the pitch!”
