Italy striker Mario Balotelli added to his long list of madcap antics when he parked his Bentley outside a Manchester school and wandered in to find a toilet.

The Manchester City player, famous for a series of stunts including setting off fireworks inside his house, arrived at the Xaverian College unannounced with friends and spent 20 minutes on the premises.

"Balotelli parked his Bentley outside then came in and was asking where the toilets were, then he went to the teacher's staff room," student Edward Gasson told the Manchester Evening News.

"After that he was just walking round campus like he owned the place and everyone was following him around. It was amazing to see him but it was a bit ridiculous for him to come here - you would never expect it to happen."

Fellow student Josh Keogh added: “When he was walking around all the City fans were cheering him.

“He just seemed proper chilled. It was really weird to see him at our college but pretty amazing.”

A spokesperson for the school confirmed that Balotelli wandered into the school: "Xaverian was delighted to receive a surprise visit from Mario, who chatted to some of the students at one of Manchester’s most successful colleges.

“We weren’t able to enrol him on any courses, but he is welcome back anytime.”
