After a goal, how footballers have celebrated?

You have seen various ways of celebrating. Some do a dance around corner kick, some dives on the grass, some makes a pyramid of joy but Super Mario or Mario Balotelli did the unthinkable.

He did post an Instagram in the middle of a match after scoring a brilliant goal.

He stunned his 8 million-plus followers when he whipped out his cellphone from cameramen stationed behind the goal post and quickly shot the goal celebration with the club mates and post it in the Instagram all the whole game is live and on. The 28-year-old then carried on playing.

The 28-year-old forward is not the first player to produce a selfie-based goal celebration. Roma great Francesco Totti took a picture of himself after scoring in the Serie A against Lazio in the capital-city derby in 2015.

Balotelli scored his fourth goal in six Ligue 1 games since joining Marseille from Nice in January by hooking home Florian Thauvin's 12th-minute corner with an excellent acrobatic volley.
