Balotelli scores superb volley then films celebration on Instagram live on the pitch

Mario Balotelli showed off a new goal celebration on Sunday as he took a selfie video with his teammates after he scored and posted it on Instagram during the match.

The Italian scored his fourth goal in six Ligue 1 matches since joining Marseille from Nice in January by netting from Florian Thauvin’s 12th-minute corner with an acrobatic volley.




He took a phone from the cameraman behind the goal before filming the video with his teammates and posting it immediately on his Instagram story.

The 28-year-old then carried on playing.
Marseille won the match against fourth-placed Saint-Etienne at the Stade Velodrome 2-0 at half-time.

Thauvin struck the second from the spot nine minutes later after a handball by Mathieu Debuchy, sealing a straightforward win.

“I had given my telephone to an OM [Marseille] journalist,” Balotelli said.




“I told him to go behind the goal, that I was going to do a video if I scored. Each time I do something, it goes right around the world.”
