'Win the Ballon d'Or? First I would have to kill Ronaldo and Messi'

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'.
