Black arrogance: AC Milan star and enigmatic striker Mario Balotelli has reportedly commissioned a sculpture of his infamous goal pose from the 2012 European Championships

It came when Balotelli netted a thunderous volley to give Italy a 2-0 lead over Germany — prompting the black "Italian" to stop and "celebrate." Now it seems as though that moment will be captured and preserved in history forever, with Balotelli teaming up with a local Italian artist to sculpt the celebration — muscles and everything — to express intimidation toward fellow opponents.
