Bunking back up at the familiar surroundings of AC Milan after a dreadful season at Liverpool, Mario Balotelli is once again on his “last chance at a big club” and showed a glimmer of what he is capable of during the Milan derby on Sunday.
Balotelli, on loan from Liverpool, came off the bench on the hour mark with Milan 1-0 down after Fredy Guarin’s fine strike had put Inter in the lead. And the Italian came within inches of clinching an equaliser for Milan after his shot from outside the box hit the post.
Ultimately, Balotelli’s effort off the post was the closest he came to grabbing an equaliser for Milan, as Inter went on to secure a 1-0 win. The test for Balotelli will be whether he can turn momentary flashes like this into something even close to consistent good performances.
