Last week, Mario Balotelli waited all the way until Tuesday to do something awesome when he put up this Instagram video of him reading Zlatan Ibrahimovic's autobiography while ironing and listening to Notorious B.I.G. This week, he's off to a much quicker start.

During A.C. Milan's friendly against Manchester City at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh earlier today—which Man City won 5-1—Balo was standing in the middle of the pitch when two fans ran onto the field and headed right in his direction. But he didn't call for security, run away, or get ready to fight the guys. Instead, he waited for them to arrive and then—what else?!—agreed to pose for a selfie with them. Security did catch up with the guys and take them off the field a short time later. But not before they snapped an epic shot with the most interesting soccer player in the world.

Watch the men run out onto the field and get their selfie taken with Balo in the clip above. This is what it looked like when they got a few seconds of up close and personal time with him:

How cool is that?

UPDATE:

Here's the selfie that came out of all of this:

The pitch invader who actually snapped the selfie claims that the two guys who ran up on Balotelli did not get arrested, either:

For the people who think that we got arrested. We got away with nothing. They didn't give us anything
