AC Milan striker Mario Balotelli has been banned for three matches after being dismissed off the pitch against Napoli on Sunday.
The Striker angrily confronted the referee following the Rossoneri's 2-1 loss to the Partenopei, picking up a second yellow card for dissent in the process.
Being dismissed for two bookable offences carries a mandatory one-match suspension, but the Italian league has opted to extend Balotelli’s punishment for “directing insulting and intimidating expressions to the referee at the time of the eviction, it confirmed in a statement.
