Mourinho-Balotelli Red Card Story! ⚽🟥
The story of two of modern football’s most entertaining characters, Jose Mourinho and Mario Balotelli!
In 2009, when Mourinho was the manager of Inter Milan, his side made a trip to Rubin Kazan in the Champions League. Mourinho had a predicament; his top two strikers, Samuel Eto’o and Diego Milito were out injured. And so 19-year-old Mario Balotelli got the nod.
In the 42nd minute of the game, Balotelli got a yellow card, and so at halftime, Mourinho spent 14 of the 15 minutes talking to the Italian, telling him to keep his cool and not get red-carded because he had no other strikers on the bench.
And in typical Balotelli style, at the hour mark, guess what happens? The referee brandishes a red card... Oh, you gotta love Mario Balotelli!
