The star Mario Balotelli surprised the students of a school by asking to use the toilet.

On Thursday afternoon, the 21-year-old Italian arrived at an educational institution in Manchester, used the toilet, and then talked to the students and teachers.

"We were pleasantly surprised by Balotelli's visit. He had a nice chat with the students," a school representative said.

One of the teenagers recounted: "Mario parked his Bentley car and asked where the toilet was. Then he went to the teachers' room, walked around the area as if it were his own home, and everyone followed behind. I am a 'Man City' fan, so it was great, because you couldn't believe it."
