Mario, Mario, Mario... The mercurial Liverpool striker has never made life easy for himself and his latest tweet following Raheem Sterling netting 138 seconds into his Manchester City will certainly irk Liverpool fans.
Sterling's acrimonious departure from Anfield left a sour taste for Liverpool fans, but after failing to score a single goal in the Premier League last season, many will be hoping Balotelli will follow him out of the exit door and this comment won't help him.
Well done @sterling31 ! Best answer ?. Keep it up.

The encouraging tweet appears to address the criticism Sterling received from Liverpool, saying his debut goal was the "best answer". Balotelli also encourages Sterling, who now plays for his former club and Premier League rivals Manchester City to "keep it up".
Understandably Liverpool fans were not pleased.
