Mario Balotelli seeks divine intervention to end goal drought

Mario Balotelli, who has scored only once in the Premier League this season, is planning to visit a holy shrine where the Virgin Mary is said to have appeared 31 years ago.

London: Mario Balotelli, who has scored only once in the Premier League this season, is planning to visit a holy shrine where the Virgin Mary is said to have appeared 31 years ago.
Medjugorje, in Bosnia-Herzegovina, became famous with football fans earlier this year when City manager Roberto Mancini made a pilgrimage there, while Manchester City was locked in a title battle with Manchester United, the Daily Star reported. He later credited the Virgin Mary for winning the title. Italian showgirl Raffaella Fico – pregnant with Balotelli’s baby – has also visited the place. “It is very likely that Mancini will come with him,” a source said. ANI
