Super Mario is back!
The mercurial Italian seems to be enjoying his time on the South-coast of France, bagging his second double in as many games, and in the process, guiding Nice to top of Ligue 1.
Balotelli opened the scoring in the 30th minute, finishing off a sizzling counter-attack with a driven shot in the bottom-corner.
Is Balotelli back?

He wasn’t done there, adding to his earlier goal with a nice finish in the 68th minute, following an impressive build-up from his Nice teammates.
