Cape Town - Mario Balotelli took to Instagram to voice his support for Italy rival Graziano Pelle despite being left out of the national team's squad.
Balotelli was left out of Italy's latest Euro 2016 qualifying squad but put personal feelings aside after fellow English Premiership star Graziano Pelle score on his debut for the national team.
Southampton star Graziano Pelle, called up to the squad for the first time, scored the only goal as Italy beat Malta 1-0 to ensure Antonio Conte maintained a perfect start to his time in charge of the Azzurri.
