Balotelli dedicates winning Confederations Cup goal to Drake
Mario Balotelli hit all the right notes during Italys Confederations Cup clash with Mexico and even dedicated his winning goal to rap superstar Drake.
The AC Milan striker showed great power in the box to swipe home in the 78th minute to give the Azzurri a 2-1 win, after a Javier Hernandez penalty cancelled out Andrea Pirlos sublime free-kick.
Balotelli celebrated the late strike with his customary muscle pose, but paid tribute to his Canadian rapper friend after the final whistle.
This gol is for my bro @Drake !!! STARTED FROM THE BOTTOM NOW WE HERE!! tweeted Balotelli.
The pair became friends after meeting during Drakes tour of England.
