Mario Balotelli pretends to SMOKE after a lighter is thrown on the pitch as the former Man City star produces another iconic goal celebration

Mario Balotelli was back to his comical best during Adana Demirspor’s defeat against Fenerbahce on Wednesday after pretending to smoke when a lighter was thrown onto the pitch.

The Italian has made a name for himself as one of modern football's biggest characters with his various antics over the years and appears to be loving life playing the Turkish top-flight.

Balotelli's career that once saw him win the Premier League title at Manchester City and later join Liverpool has been largely derailed in recent years, but is now rediscovering his previous form.
