In a moment that will surely trigger a strong reaction from his critics, Mario Balotelli curiously swapped shirts with Pepe at the interval of Wednesday's Champions League clash between Liverpool and Real Madrid.
Such a move wouldn't normally come under scrutiny, but given Balotelli's recent form in front of goal - as well as his struggles through the opening 45 minutes of the match - Liverpool fans will surely question whether or not the Italian striker had been notified about his impending half-time substitution.
