Mario Balotelli admits he would love the chance to play against Manchester City in Europe if Milan qualify for the Champions League.
The 22-year-old left City during the January transfer window to move back to his homeland and he has been a revelation since moving to the San Siro.
A dip in form and problems away from the action saw his time at the Etihad Stadium come to a premature end, but he has shown his true colours with Milan and looks at home back in Serie A.
However, the controversial Italy international hit-man still has feelings for his old club and admits he would jump at the chance to face them in Europe’s elite club competition next season.
“We at Milan are trying to qualify for the Champions League directly, without needing the preliminary phase,” he told mcfc.co.uk. “And I am sure that City also will qualify for the Champions League. I hope to come back to play at the Etihad.
“If that will happen I will come back with love and respect for everyone – club, players and supporters. I would love a Champions League group with Milan and City, it would be great.”
