Fan storming the pitch during soccer matches isn't all that uncommon an occurrence in the beautiful game -- usually it's a way for spectators to illegally pay homage to their favorite stars.
But no one's captured the ol' zeitgeist better than two AC Milan supporters who stormed the field during a friendly on Sunday in Pittsburg, then nabbed a selfie with Milan star and based soccer god Mario Balotelli.

Now here's an alternate view of the magical moment. (A video is embedded atop this post.)
Balotelli is renowned among soccer fans for his talent and, um, offbeat personality. These two fans had also clearly done their homework, because Balotelli is a man who likes his selfies.
He like selfies in sunglasses.

But we're sure Sunday's selfie with those two pitch invaders will hold a special place in Balotelli's heart for many years to come.
