Balotelli was a ridiculous talent. When I go back to his time at Inter I think he's absolutely one of the most talented young strikers I have ever seen. I though he would reach Henry's level. He had it all. Brilliant pace, strength, technique, power, finishing, even free kicks... But already when he left Inter he started declining and his focus started to get lost. He already lost some pace when he got to City, but was still very quick. When he left City though, he just didn't have any outstanding pace left. Was a very static, lazy striker who almost played like a number 10 positionally.

failed? depends how you look at it. Balotelli came from an extremely poor family who had to leave him to foster care because they didn't have money for his health care. Despite that and racial abuse he was getting he managed to become a millionaire doing what he loves. He represented Italy in 30+ games winning the euros silver with them.
