It was a powerful, yet painful moment for AC Milan striker Mario Balotelli as he returned to the bench during the team’s match against Napoli.
Balotelli was on the bench hiding behind a jacket after being subbed out with 15 minutes remaining.
When he removed the jacket, the camera caught a flood of tears streaming down his face.
Allegedly, as multiple sources in Europe reported, Napoli fans had been shouting racial slurs at Balotelli — whose parents are from Ghana — and they were awful enough to reduce the 23-year-old to tears.
