OK fight might be the wrong term, perhaps tussle is a better word. Either way it appears that Mario Balotelli angered Rio Ferdinand in some manner and it appears it could have something to do with taunting Man United fans after the final whistle. Either way it was all something over nothing and Shaun Wright Phillips stepped in to stop anything get out of hand, which is quite brace given that the Man City winger is about a metre shorter than either protagonist!
This Balotelli Ferdinand fight took place right after the FA Cup semifinal between Manchester United and Man City, which the latter edged 1-0, thanks to a solitary Yaya Toure goal.
Both Mario Balotelli and Rio Ferdinand are known for their fragile tempers and it is no wonder that the two got involved in a fight. Ferdinand was on the verge of grabbing Balotelli’s shirt, but the Balotelli vs Ferdinand fight was broken up by Man City manager Roberto Mancini and his assistant David Platt.
