The day after Mario Balotelli's brace sent Italy into the Euro 2012 final, Tuttosport's front page features a picture of the striker with his shirt off and the headline "Li abbiamo fatti neri" – "We made them black!" – which does seem a questionable choice of phrase to use next to a picture of a black footballer, but is an idiom meaning something along the lines of "we beat them black and blue".
Elsewhere, Italy has not had many opportunities of late to celebrate superiority over Germany, and they were certainly not about to waste the one handed to them by Balotelli last night. Angela Merkel takes a particularly personal beating, with the front page of Libero featuring a picture of Mario Balotelli leathering a ball featuring the superimposed face of the German chancellor. The headline is "Vaffanmerkel", a corruption of the German leader's name and an Italian phrase suggesting in no uncertain terms that the subject go away immediately. "Grande Italia!" they add. "Germany were dominated and liquidated with two goals from SuperMario Balotelli." Il Giornale has a similar theme. Their front-page headline reads "Ciao Ciao Culona" – "Bye bye, fat ass". "It's not Monti but Balotelli, who with a brace destroys Germany and sends us into the final. Mrs Merkel, it's you who is leaving the Euro."
