His loan move from Liverpool has allowed Mario Balotelli to begin his second stint at AC Milan.

After scoring his first goal of the season recently, Balotelli has promised that he is a reformed character - but it seems the jury is still out at the San Siro. https://twitter.com/btsportfootball/status/646399767803789312 Riccardo Montolivo, Milan's current captain, says that he has told the former Manchester City striker to prove himself through his actions, not his words. "I told him to prove that he’s changed, not with talk. He’s doing that. He was provoked throughout the game, but he showed maturity," Montolivo told Italian TV. Although the Milan skipper appeared to be praising Balotelli, he added that he would wait before giving a more definite assessment. "At Christmas we’ll add everything up and see if he has changed or not.”
