Mario Balotelli Man City " why always me " t-shirt
In 2011, Balotelli and Manchester City visited Old Trafford with the intent of proving to their neighbours that they were genuine title contenders for the first time since the 1950s. They made that exact statement by thrashing the defending champions 6-1 in one of the most shocking results in Premier League history.
It was the then-21-year-old who got his team off to the perfect start, finding the bottom corner with a fine first-time finish. The celebration that ensued, which was ironically Eric Cantona-esque, has since gone down in folklore.
Balotelli lifted up his shirt to reveal a shirt that he was wearing underneath which had a question written on it. In front of a sold-out Theatre of Dreams and millions watching around the world, the Italian asked: 'Why always me?'
The shirt has since become a cult favourite amongst both city fans and neutrals alike
