This week Roy and Nicola finally dive into one of the biggest enigma's of the modern game: Mario Balotelli. How will history ultimately judge him? Did he fail to fulfill his potential? Or was he a misunderstood genius?

First though there is chat about Beckley's Beckham, Eden Hazard's retirement (1:55) and what it all says about the constant overload on the best players nowadays (5:10).

Then they postulate about how football historians will evaluate Super Mario Balotelli now that his best days are behind him (11:40). They cover the highs and lows of a highly turbulent career that saw iconic celebrations, fireworks exploding in bathrooms, camo-Bentleys with bags full of cash and much more!

Was Balo a generational talent? What role did coming up in a country that wouldn't grant him citizenship until his 18th birthday have on his evolution? Was he one of the most lethal penalty takers ever? And, ultimately, did Mario fail us or did we, as a footballing community, fail him?
