Teammates take a dig at Balotelli

Inter Milan striker Mario Balotelli has been criticised by his teammates after throwing his shirt to the ground at the end of his team's 3-1 win over Barcelona in the first leg of their Champions League semifinal.
Despite the win Balotelli, who was given a less than supportive welcome by home fans when introduced in the 75th minute at San Siro, was in no mood to celebrate. Instead, having already gestured to the crowd after shooting wide, the 19-year-old threw his jersey to the turf and marched angrily towards the tunnel at full-time.
"He's like a child. I'm a father of three kids and we can't take him by the collar, too," said the Inter midfielder Dejan Stankovic, a fellow substitute last night. "He's suffered, but I've suffered too with the fans. He's reacted poorly, but he's still got time."
Inter's captain, Javier Zanetti, added: "[I am] disappointed that a celebration was ruined with something like this. If the fans whistle at him he's got to understand that it could depend on a lot of different things. We've always stood by him.”
