Embrace: Balotelli celebrates his goal with team-mate Riccardo Montolivo |
The volatile Italian forward has made an instant impact on his return to Milan and he scored yet again with a 78th-minute free-kick at the San Siro in a 2-1 win over Parma.
His girlfriend Fanny Robert Neguesha, a Belgian model, was in the stands to see his curling free-kick and she caught the eye as she made heart shapes with her hands… presumably aimed at Balotelli.
'I am playing at a consistent level and nearing my best form,' he told Sky Sport Italia.
'I had already missed two free kicks. But I said to him that if I missed his one, he could have a go.'
Milan boss Massimiliano Allegri said: 'Balotelli scored a great free kick. Balotelli this evening suffered many fouls, but, his reaction was good.'
Since Balotelli left the Etihad in January, not a lot has gone right for Manchester City as draws against QPR and Liverpool as well as defeat at Southampton have all but ended their chances of retaining the Premier League crown they won on a dramatic final day last year.
But the controversial striker has made a flying start to his Milan career, which began with fireworks on the day of his arrival.
