Mario Balotelli showcased his trademark humor during Adana Demirspor’s match against Fenerbahce on Wednesday, pretending to smoke when a lighter was thrown into the pitch.
The Italian striker, known for his colorful personality and antics, seems to be thoroughly enjoying his time in the Turkish top-flight league.
Despite a career that has seen highs like winning the Premier League title with Manchester City and lows such as his stint with Liverpool, Balotelli is now showing signs of rediscovering his previous form.

Mario Balotelli’s impressive form
Demirspor fans have had the chance to witness Mario Balotelli’s skills firsthand, as the 33-year-old has scored seven goals in 11 Super Lig appearances this season, including his most recent against Fenerbahce earlier in the week.
After scoring in the 25th minute, Balotelli indulged in another memorable celebration. Reacting to a lighter thrown by frustrated fans, he humorously pretended to smoke, mimicking the act before casually discarding the object with a smile.
This celebration adds to his collection, which notably includes the “why always me?” moment when he revealed a t-shirt after scoring against Manchester United in the Manchester derby.
However, his joy was short-lived this time, as the hosts, led by his former Manchester City teammate Edin Dzeko, responded with three goals to secure a 4-2 victory.
