The hyper-aware cynic in us suspects this isn’t 100% kosher but none-the-less, here’s Mario Balotelli serenading Andrea Pirlo with a beautiful piano rendition of the Italian national anthem…

Anyone have the foggiest what is going here?

    Seems to me like a fake…switched person the moment the camera goes around Pirlo and the person to the left of the piano. You can’t see Balotellis face the moment you see “his” fingers playing. Nice trick though ;)

    I believe Mario has tattoos on his arms. This piano player doesn’t. So yes, there you go.

    Biggest proof that this is fake is the hoodie. When you see Mario, it’s zipped, but when “piano-Mario’s” hands are shown, you can evidently see that the hoodie is unzipped. When the camera pans around for the last time, lo and behold, Mario’s hoodie is once again zipped. If it had been a bib, I wouldn’t know whether it’s fake or not.

    I love the thought of Mario being a gifted pianist, so i’m going to believe it.

    If it was really Mario it would be an electric guitar that had been set on fire as he played it

    I love the look on Pirlo’s face…. the “I’m too old for this shit” look.

    Great observation, Simon.

    Idiots, clearly he unzipped it as the camera panned pirlos back and then zipped it again as it panned the unknown to his rights back. Prove he didnt.
