WATCH: Mario Balotelli took on the world’s greatest nutmegger and almost lost his soul

No coming back

OK, maybe “lost his soul” is a bit hyperbolic but he was certainly made to look a fool.

Mario Balotelli said “100% he doesn’t get it” ahead of his nutmeg contest against freestyle footballer Soufiane Touzani whose main goal in life is putting footballs through as many people’s legs as humanly possible.

The Dutch trickster added Balotelli to his list of victims when he visited AC Milan’s training ground recently.

Balotelli, on loan from Liverpool, looked to have survived the nutmeg at Touzani’s first attempt but as Touzani got more comfortable, Mario never stood a chance.
