Mario Balotelli dominated social media discussions following a match-winning performance, as Marseille secured a 2-0 victory over Saint-Etienne. The Italian striker opened the scoring with an overhead kick before capturing post-goal celebrations on his phone and sharing them on Instagram.
The goal marked his fourth in six appearances since joining Marseille from Nice in January. Teammate Florian Thauvin added a penalty to seal the win, with Balotelli's strike becoming the focal point of online reactions.
While not the first player to document match-day moments, Balotelli's actions drew comparisons to former Roma striker Francesco Totti, who famously took a selfie after scoring in a 2015 Rome derby against Lazio.
