Following the glorious night in south France, the town of Nice has seen a change to its nightlife.

The name 'Balotelli' is now ever so popular in Nice, and a bar has created a shot made up of Kahlua, Bailey's and Tequila and named it after the striker.

Balotelli found out and tweeted: "So now I am a shot?" With smile-crying faces.

It is also claimed that the Italian has a pizza named after him in Tokyo, Japan: The Balotelli.

Balotelli was named Man of the Match in his debut with Nice and received his award on his massage table.
