Mario Balotelli has links to both Milan clubs.
He made his name at Inter Milan when Roberto Mancini brought him into the first-team fold and he went on to win three Serie A titles, one Coppa Italia and one Champions League at the club.

Here are Mario Balotelli's maddest moments:
Mancini would bring him to England in 2010 when he signed for Manchester City, and though he'd showed flashes and glimpses - his ill-discipline was too much to handle and he returned to the Italian capital with rivals AC, where he spent a season before another disappointing permanent spell came around when he joined Liverpool.

Balotelli ended up returning to AC Milan on loan last season before signing for Lucien Favre's Nice in Ligue One.

With two of his former clubs in action, Balotelli was watching yesterday's Milan derby closely and seeing as though he turned out for both sides at the San Siro, you'd think he'd be a bit split as to who he'd be supporting.
But the 26-year old made that abundantly clear with a post on Twitter after the game.
Inter Milan were 2-0 up and flying thanks to goals from Andrea Candreva and captain Mauro Icardi in the first half.
But the spoils were shared in the end when AC mounted a late fight-back. Alessio Romagnoli reduced the deficit i and then in the dying embers of the game, Cristian Zapata bundled the ball over the line to claim a point for the Rossoneri in the seventh minute of stoppage time.

Balotelli was absolutely buzzing with the draw and aimed a little dig at Inter on Twitter:
Translated, his post reads: "Insult me all you like. I don't give a ... #forzamilan #shhhhhh #felice."

The striker clearly doesn't think too fondly of Inter these days...
And the Italian would experience greater delight later on in the day as his side Nice would achieve qualification for next season's Champions League, with it not being possible for them to finish lower than third in Ligue One.
