Thankfully, Burp favourite Mario Balotelli has never been far from our thoughts during the current tournament in Poland and Ukraine. So we thought it was time for a quick round-up of the best videos circling the web concerning this controversial Italian character.

Here it is then, the Manchester City striker’s oddest, funniest and greatest moments of Euro 2012 so far:

Balotelli: “I certainly feel more of a man than a Peter Pan”

Only in Italian (sorry). After being likened to Peter Pan by his agent, Mario Balotelli responded at a recent Euro 2012 press conference:

I think these two metaphors are for Mario the person, not Mario the footballer, I think I am a man.

I could be Peter Pan – as in some of my behaviour I’m quite free, but I certainly feel more of a man than a Peter Pan.
