Mario Balotelli is usually a character we like to poke fun at, but this time around we bring you something very touching - a tribute to his father.
The Italian proved this week that he is a family man and even though he gets himself into trouble now and then, his family will always come first.
The Balotelli story is quite a touching one, as he was fostered at the age of three by Italian's Silvia and Francesco Balotelli after being put up for adoption by his Ghanaian parents, who were immigrants.
The striker has always considered Francesco as his father, but he sadly he passed away this week.
The Italian took to Instagram yesterday to show his classy tribute to his dad and had the caption "Always with me dad" below it.
What do you think of Balotelli's touching tribute?
