VIDEO: Mario Balotelli tries to show off on leg press machine, teammates enjoy it way too much

Poor Mario can't catch a break

Mario Balotelli’s teammates have stood by him through thick and thin this season.

They’ve not given him much stick for any of the 320 wides or 450 offsides he’s contributed to Liverpool’s season but, in the gym, it’s a different story.

The Liverpool forward got plenty of sarcastic applause from his Reds buddies as he put on an exhibition on the leg press machine, grimacing as he attempted to lift a weight which appeared to be 640lb.

The misfiring Italian also seemed to be asking for more weight to be added to the machine, saying “why not? I am powerful,” to one of the spectators.

He mightn’t be able to score a goal but if you put 640lbs on a leg press machine, you can bet your arse that Mario Balotelli will endeavour to move it.
