Mario Balotelli has shared his vision of an Italy all-star World Cup team, filling up the squad’s pages in this year’s Panini sticker album with images of himself.

The striker, who headed in the Azzurri’s winning goal in Saturday’s 2-1 victory over England and is no stranger to self-referential humour, placed the stickers on each of his team-mates’ spaces in the book before posting the result on his official Facebook page on Monday, accompanied by the now-familiar meme: “WHY ALWAYS ME?”

His splurge will come as a particular blow to avid collectors seeking sticker number 335 to complete their set: judging by the boxes, and discarded stickers of other players, strewn around the album on his photograph, it took no small amount of effort to acquire the 14 stickers necessary to complete a team of Balotellis.
