Napoli coach Carlo Ancelotti offered support to Brescia striker Mario Balotelli during yesterday's Champions League media conference.

Balotelli booted the ball into the Hellas Verona crowd on Sunday amid chanting which has been alleged as racist taunts.

Ancelotti says Balotelli acted correctly and feels things are improving.

He said, “Balotelli did well, he reacted in the right way.

"There were two stoppages in two matches, so we are on the right path."
