Not pictured: Mario Balotelli.
It seems so much was made of the possibility that Carlos Tevez would opt to travel back to Argentina to see his family rather than attend Man City's FA Cup parade on Monday that no one bothered to make sure Mario Balotelli would show up. So, while Tevez hoisted the trophy from an open-topped bus surrounded by thousands of fans, Balotelli was in Milan doing whatever it is he does.
From the Telegraph:
Balotelli's failure to attend could lead to the former Inter Milan player, who earns �170,000 a week, being fined a fortnight's wages. Club sources suggested he had been allowed to return home for family reasons.
Twenty-four hours earlier, Balotelli was also absent from the club's Player of the Year awards and prompted the embarrassing situation of full-back Micah Richards collecting the Young Player of the Year award, given to Balotelli, due to the Italian's absence.
So just what was Mario Balotelli doing instead of attending these events? Given his reputation for giving large sums of money to the homeless and helping bullied children before speeding off in his Maserati, here are some possible excuses:
-Building houses for orphans (before speeding off in his Maserati).
-Finding a cure for feline AIDS (before speeding off in his Maserati).
-Playing Jenga.
-Making some much needed repairs to his Maserati (before speeding off in his Maserati).
