Balotelli's trophy haul includes a Champions League, three Serie A titles, a Premier League, an FA Cup, and a Coppa Italia, a collection most strikers would envy. Individually, he was the first Italian to win the Golden Boy Award in 2010, and his brace against Germany in the Euro 2012 semi-final remains one of the tournament's defining moments. He is one of the few players to have scored in a Champions League semi-final, a Premier League title-deciding match, and a major international semi-final.
