Balotelli blasts Ibrahimovic’ criticism towards him

Mario Balotelli has hit back at Zlatan Ibrahimovic’ most recent comments about the Italian’s career.

The two have had a difficult relationship, despite sharing the same dressing room at Inter Milan in 2007-2009.

So it is no surprise that Balotelli felt enraged, when the Swede started criticising his career.

Mario Balotelli posted a photo of him holding the Champions League trophy after Zlatan had criticized him for not maximizing his talent.

The 33-year-old posted a picture of himself with the Champions League trophy from 2010, tagging Zlatan’s name under it. It is more than an obvious dig since it is well known that Ibrahimovic has not won the trophy in his long career.

“In Manchester you were scared and I wanted to win (on the pitch). The year after We won the Champions League anyway, but Zlatan, I still love you.” Balotelli said under the picture referring to Inter’s last 16 loss to Manchester United in 2009.

Balotelli stayed one more year in Inter before moving to Manchester City, where he won the Premier League and the FA Cup.
