Balotelli takes aim at racist 'd*ckheads' as he pushes for Italy recall

The Brescia striker was subject to abuse on Sunday and has looked to clarify what happened

Italian attacker Mario Balotelli has hit out at fans that racially abused him over the weekend, but stressed the majority of Hellas Verona fans weren't guilty of the shocking behaviour.

Balotelli reacted angrily to abuse aimed his way during Brescia's 2-1 loss against Verona on Sunday and threatened to leave the game in protest.

His strong stance continued post-match with a message on social media and the former Manchester City striker continued his offensive while speaking on Italian TV.
