AC Milan striker Balotelli hopes to face Man City in Champions League

AC Milan striker Mario Balotelli hopes to meet former club Manchester City later in the Champions League.

Balotelli left Manchester City in January for Milan.

He told the Sunday Mirror: "It is a dream to play against Manchester City in Europe. I had a good time there - and had a lot of success there. I still have friends in Manchester and I would like to go back and say hello to the fans that were so good to me.

"It would be mixed emotions, going back - because I would be going there to win, but I hope Milan meet them in the knockout stages."
