When Mario Balotelli was playing for Manchester City he would often get a parking ticket because he didn't try to avoid them. New signing Benjamin Mendy will be hoping he doesn't follow suit quite as often but at least he had a brilliant conversation with Nando's about it.
Back when one of the most controversial strikers of his generation was playing in the Premier League he reportedly put together an incredible £10,000 worth of parking tickets and had his car compounded 27 times!

The Italian would regularly just park on Deansgate, outside of the bar he was frequenting and completely ignore the yellow lines on the road. Simply because he could afford to.
New City signing Benjamin Mendy has only just recently moved to the north west of England but he has already picked up a parking ticket as he parked his Ferrari in a taxi rank. Funnily enough it led to some wonderful 'bantz' with Nando's.
Mendy is a new signing at City having joined from Monaco during the summer but the 23 year old is so far yet to make his debut, because of an injury.

You do have to wonder if any of his new teammates have explained what a Cheeky Nando's is yet.
