MARIO BALOTELLI
Bringing Mario Balotelli back to Italy was certainly the greatest coup Milan achieved last season. Finally the team had a star player and one that could score goals—two things sorely needed following the offseason departure of Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
And score goals Balotelli did -- 12 in 13 games to be precise, helping lead Milan to the Champions League qualification round. Balotelli's penalty-taking skills are second to none, having never missed a spot kick, and he has formed a lethal partnership with Stephan El Shaarawy that is set to benefit both Milan and the Italian national team.
