The former Liverpool striker seems to be having a positive time of things of late, on Sunday he scored twice on his Nice debut
THINGS have started pretty well for Mario Balotelli as he relaunches his career back in France.
First he scored a brace on his debut to help Nice to a 3-2 win against Marseille in Ligue 1 on Sunday.

And to wind down following his exertions, Balotelli was spotted enjoying a lunch date with a pretty, mystery brunette.
The Italian striker and his dining partner went for a bite to eat at Avenue 31 restaurant in Monaco.
The principality is only around a half-hour drive from Nice in the south of the country.

Earlier this week Balotelli said how joining Liverpool FC was the “worst decision of my life”.
“Apart from the fans, who were fantastic with me, and some of the players who I really got on with, I didn’t like the club,” he said.
“I had two coaches, Brendan Rodgers and Jurgen Klopp. As people they didn’t make a good impression on me. I didn’t get along with them.”

And after bagging two goals for Nice at the weekend, the controversial striker even claimed he could still win the Ballon d’Or.
He told Canal +: “Of course. It’s not too late.
“I think I could have already won it by now, but by working hard in training I could still win it in the next two or three years.”

Balotelli opened the scoring from the spot just seven minutes into the clash before later equalising with a close range header with 78 minutes on the clock.
His league tally of two is one more than he scored during his disastrous stint at AC Milan last campaign and with Liverpool two seasons ago.
