Mario Balotelli's glamorous girlfriend Rafaella Fico has no problem with the Manchester City striker frequenting strip clubs.

Balotelli's excursion last week drew a fine from City manager Roberto Mancini and a request he get married.

But Rafaella said: "It is too soon to get married, we are still very young. He doesn't do things maliciously, but when you are young you do certain things without stopping to think whether they are right or wrong.

"For me, he can go to a strip club if he does nothing wrong, with friends, but I have to say that he always comes back to me, his favourite."
