Whatever else is said about Jake Humphrey, there was a moment during BT Sport's coverage of the Champions League final when he may have had an unusually large number of folk nodding along in agreement.

It was after he had turned to Mario Balotelli, recruited on account of his past with each of the clubs, and asked the enigmatic Italian for his prediction.

These exchanges rarely enrich our lives but when you have five hours to fill, it isn't unreasonable for a broadcaster to assume that the hired baller will play ball.

Except Balotelli has rarely been the sort for conformity.
