Mario Balotelli always does things in amusing fashion, and he even managed to turn a red card into a comical moment as Nice played Bordeaux on Wednesday evening.

Balotelli was shown the red card for needlessly hacking at an opponent, but then came the comedy.

.@FinallyMario sees red for kicking out, but a lucky @ogcnice fan reaps the benefits! 🙈 #Ligue1 https://t.co/XfUXqKrISO

First, the Italian laughed at the ref’s decision, gesticulating to the Nice bench.

Next, he ripped off his shirt and presented it as a surprise Christmas gift to a delighted fan.

And finally, he pushed away a TV camera that was getting too close for his liking.

Always amusing, Balotelli has delivered again… albeit in inauspicious fashion with Nice having their star striker dismissed.
