After 1701 days away, Mario Balotelli has returned to Serie A. Could a return to Italy's national team yet be on the cards?

Balotelli was introduced after 85 minutes, replacing Jeff Ekhator who had set up Andrea Pinamonti’s 80th minute winner.

Technically, Balotelli has picked up a yellow and a red card in his last six minutes of football, as his time with Adana Demirspor ended with a red card in his final appearance of the 2023-24 season.
