Even on a day that should have been about his former side Manchester City winning the English Premier League over rivals Liverpool, another of his former teams, Mario Balotelli would not be outshined.
The Italy forward produced a wonder "Rabona" finish that had seven step overs for Turkish club Adana Demirspor that can only be described as an early contender for the FIFA Puskas Award.
Incredibly, Balotelli scored five goals in Demirspor's victory over Goztepe on Sunday but it was his fifth of the bunch that has drawn the most social media gushes.
The 31-year-old was earlier this year recalled to the Italian national team for the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, which saw the European champions fail to qualify for Qatar.
