WATCH: Mario Balotelli denied by ex-Liverpool keeper Pepe Reina from spot for FIRST time
AC MILAN forward Mario Balotelli had a game he would rather forget last night.
The errant Italian had never missed a penalty in his career, but former Liverpool keeper Pepe Reina changed that statistic.
Balotelli had eyed up a perfect 22 successful spot kicks from 22 attempts, but after strolling up in his casual manner, he tamely struck his spot kick that was comfortably saved by Reina.
His night went from bad to worse when he was sent off in the dying moments of the game for an act of dissent.
Balotelli's side ended up losing 2-0 to Napoli, who have had a perfect start to the campaign under Rafa Benitez.
