'Win the Ballon d'Or? First I would have to kill Ronaldo and Messi'
The two superstars have currently secured the hegemony of the coveted individual award, giving the rest of footballers around the world no chance.
Mario Balotelli responded humourously when asked about the chances of him winning the Ballon d'Or: 'I would have to kill those two', he said, referring to Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
''If I think that what I have done for my career is little, I should have done more. Now I have two weeks of holidays, I won't even watch the Champions League final', Balotelli assured, self-critically.
Finally, the Italian admitted he would like to play for Palermo in the future: 'Some day I would like to end my career in my city's team, but I am still young'.
