Real Madrid can sleep with my girlfriend: Balotelli

Controversial footballer Mario Balotelli has stolen headlines in Europe once again for reportedly offering Real Madrid players the use of his girlfriend, should they turn their fortunes around in the Champions League.

“If Real Madrid come back in Champions League, I’ll let my girlfriend sleep with them!” Balotelli told a Spanish newspaper, teasing Real Madrid’s stars over shock losses in their Champions League campaign.

Last week Cristiano Ronaldo’s Real were thumped 4-1 by Borussia Dortmund in the first leg of their semi-final, and their luck doesn’t look likely to change as they approach the second leg tomorrow, with a cloud of doubt over Ronaldo’s fitness.

Just last month Balotelli, 22, was boasting to European papers that he had “found tranquillity” with girlfriend Fanny Neguesha, also 22, as he batted away claims he was the father of underwear model Rafaella Fico’s daughter, Pia.

Balotelli parted with ex-fiance Fico, last year.

The flamboyant Italian, named one of TIME magazine’s 100 most-influential people, has a history of saying and doing the most bizarre things.

Since joining AC Milan, he has continued to draw controversy on and off the pitch. Earlier this month he was fined by his club for being caught smoking in a train toilet on a team trip.

In a totally unrelated matter, but one that is a lot of fun, check out this video of a rhythmic gymnast.
