Mario Balotelli: Star casually strolls past Besiktas chaos after controversial celebration | OneFootball

If there's one thing Mario Balotelli guarantees, it's chaos.

While the Italian's career hasn't quite lived up to the expectations many would have had following his time at Manchester City, as well as his performances at Euro 2012, the 31-year-old is one of the most charismatic footballers in the game.

Still, as loved as he can be from supporters desperate to keep up with his latest antics, the striker has certainly rubbed people up the wrong way over the course of his career.

That, again, was on full display during Adana Demirspor's recent draw with Turkish giants, Besiktas.

Almost a decade after having been criticised by their manager for having 'no brain', Balotelli openly mocked opposition Sergen Yalcin. After scoring a stunning goal from distance, he pointed at his head while looking directly at the Besiktas boss.

For most players, that would be the most controversial moment of the game.

Still, this is no ordinary person we're talking about.

As you can see in the video below, members of the Besiktas bench tried to confront the striker as he walked off the pitch at the end of the game. Presumably angry with his gesture towards their manager, a number of staff appeared to be trying to break through and get up close and personal with Balotelli.

Despite the fury that lay just feet away from him, Balotelli could not look cooler.

Rather than get involved, the striker calmly sipped his bottle of water and walked straight past the baying Besiktas mob, embracing members of Adana Demirspor's staff before turning back and making eye contact with those trying to get at him.

"The goat," said Edwin Junior in reaction.

"Ice cold Mario," Lewis.

said Anged Dihaliwal.
