"Liverpool" forward Mario Balotelli received a scolding from team manager Brendan Rodgers. The incident with the Italian player occurred after the end of the first half of the Champions League match against Real Madrid's Pepe, where they exchanged jerseys, according to the BBC.
After the first half of the Champions League match, Real was already leading 3-0.
Upon announcing the break, as he was heading to the locker room, M. Balotelli exchanged jerseys with Pepe. In the second half, the Italian did not appear on the field - "Liverpool" strategist B. Rodgers benched him.
"I do not tolerate this. If you want to exchange jerseys - do it after the match. We will resolve this on Thursday," said B. Rodgers.
