AC Milan's Mario Balotelli posts wrong photo of birthplace Palermo

AC Milan striker Mario Balotelli returns to the city of his birth, Palermo, on Wednesday night, and he wanted to show just how proud he is of his roots by posting a picture on Instagram.

"I love the city where I was born!!!" Balotelli wrote. "Palermo!!" he added, with three hearts.

Amo la mia città natale!!! PALERMO ♥️♥️♥️! ( la foto sempre Sicilia è).

Next to the words, however, was not a photo of Palermo, but rather of Cefalu.

His mistake was quickly pointed out to the 25-year-old, who added -- in brackets -- "It's still Sicily" to his initial post. At least he got the island right.
