WATCH: Mario Balotelli gets a taste of his own medicine! Ex-Man City striker taunted with 'Why Always Me?' celebration during Baller League cameo

FIFA Club World Cup

Manchester City

Wydad Casablanca

<p>The Baller League witnessed a thrilling showdown between football royalty and internet fame as a star-studded Legends vs Influencers match brought together icons of the game and fan-favourite creators in an action-packed match, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/mario-balotelli-vs-ksi-ex-man-city-inter-star-signs-up-baller-league-uk-legends-vs-creators-game-o2-arena-jay-jay-okocha/blt449e244dbfffed3b#csd05a6a9bf1da362d" target="_blank">which ended in a 7-6 victory for the former pros</a>. Among the biggest names to lace up their boots were Balotelli, Ravel Morrison, and John Arne Riise, while the influencer lineup included KSI, Chunkz, and George Clarkey, with Niko Omilana playing a pivotal role.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>While the game itself was a spectacle filled with goals, laughs, and nostalgia, it was a cheeky celebration from influencer Eman SV2 that stole the headlines, and perhaps even upstaged one of football's most eccentric stars. After scoring, Eman turned to the crowd and revealed a shirt that <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/why-always-me-balotelli-famous-slogan-meaning-history-explained/bltb717f14c0dab3994" target="_blank">read “Why Always Me?” </a>- the very phrase Balotelli had famously displayed under his Manchester City jersey during their historic 6-1 thrashing of Manchester United at Old Trafford in October 2011.</p>

WATCH THE CLIP

<p>Now winding down his career at Genoa, Balotelli’s time in professional football may be nearing its final chapters. His contract with the Serie A side is set to expire this summer, and with no renewal on the cards yet, the striker may soon be contemplating his next steps. </p>
