Brescia striker Mario Balotelli shrugs off 7-minute dismissal

Brescia striker Mario Balotelli has shrugged off his red card in their 2-2 draw with Cagliari.

Balotelli was only on the pitch for seven minutes when he received his marching orders for picking up two yellow cards, with the second for insulting the referee.

He later posted to social media: "It's incredible how one episode can always change a person's opinion from too negative or positive so drastically.

“I will continue with my work this time too, it's not a problem.

“You can continue to judge me as you wish."
