BALOTELLI DEFENDS SULLEY MUNTARI OVER MINISTER'S RACISM COMMENT

Mario Balotelli has slammed an Italian politician for
making racist comments concerning Sulley Muntari
in the wake of AC Milan's 2-2 draw with Verona on
Saturday .
Ghana international Muntari gave away a penalty as
Filippo Inzaghi's side were held at home in their
latest Serie A outing.
After the match, Matteo Salvini, secretary of the
anti-immigration Lega Nord party, sparked
controversy with a Facebook post that read:
"Immigrants who work well are welcome. So Muntari
may return to his home."
Liverpool striker Balotelli, the subject of criticism
from Salvini in the past, expressed his amazement
at the politician's comments.
In an Instagram post containing a screenshot of
Salvini's words, Balotelli wrote: "This person is
serious when he says this or what? He is also a
politician? Then voting for me is better."
Salvini appeared unrepentant as he insulted
Balotelli with another Facebook post on Sunday
It read: "The sense of humour of Balotelli is equal
to his education in the field.
"He is angry because I criticised his friend
Muntari?
"With all the millions that come to play ball, these
gentlemen should accept ironies and criticism from
fans, and smile. Take it easy Mario!"
