Mario Balotelli was pictured partying until 4.30am in London following Liverpool's defeat to Chelsea in the Premier League at the weekend.

Following the match at Anfield, the striker attended celebrity-favourite nightclub Libertine until the early hours on Sunday morning.

When the Italy international finally left the club, he had a friend covering him with an umbrella while he tried to hide under his hood.

Balotelli has been included in Italy's squad for their upcoming matches against Croatia and Albania.
