Mario Balotelli raised the bar for future goal celebrations during Marseille's Ligue 1 match against Saint-Etienne on Sunday by posting the live hoopla to his Instagram account.
Balotelli opened the scoring in the 12th minute of the match on a corner kick with his back to the net. In a move that would have to be pre-planned, a cameraman was positioned behind the net holding Balotelli's cell phone. The cameraman gave the cell phone to Balotelli, who opened Instagram account and gathered his teammates together for a selfie.

And this was the end result, which was posted to Balotelli's account almost immediately:

Balotelli's goal would stand as the "game winner" as Marseilles won the match 2-0.
