He played Liverpool against Man City and a few hours before Saturday's game he suffered a terrible accident

Footballer Mario Balotelli was involved in a car accident in the Italian city of Brescia, where his luxury car was wrecked. Moments after the event, the player refused to take an alcohol test. "The striker ran off the road in Brescia and wrecked his car. It happened in the afternoon on Via Orzinuovi," revealed the Italian news agency ANSA.

According to Sky Sports, Super Mario was unhurt in the accident, although he was staggering. Furthermore, Tuttosport revealed the player received medical attention and was breathalysed, to which he tested positive. However, when the police wanted to carry out a more rigorous check, Balotelli refused. After the incident, his brother Enock Barwuah and friends took Balotelli to their home near Brescia. Days earlier, the now Turkey's Adana Demirspor player had assured Italy's Contolcalcio that he is fit to return to the Italy national team, for which he has not played since 2018.

"The causes of the accident have yet to be determined. Balotelli, however, according to a local police official, refused to submit to a breathalyser test," the media added. According to local law, refusing the test makes you an immediate offender. I opened Balotelli's locker and I got 30 fines,' said his brother Enock Barwuah, who was returning from training with the team he plays for in the Italian 5th Division championship. In addition, friends were there to take Mario Balotelli to his home in Brescia, just a few metres from the Rigamonti stadium.

Played for Liverpool and Man City

The Italian has had a very long career and from 2010 to 2013 he played for Manchester City, while from 2014 to 2015 he was with Liverpool although his stay was very poor with just 4 goals scored. In these two periods he was able to play several games between the two teams although at that time the rivalry was not as strong as it is now.
