Mario Balotelli has expressed his love for Arsenal, while praising Liverpool's loyal supporters.
The OGC Nice striker departed Anfield in the summer after an enduring a disappointing spell with the Reds but that does not mean he doesn't have a healthy respect for the Merseyside club's passionate fans.
The Italian also admitted that Manchester City still holds a special place in his heart and has revealed a secret admiration for Arsenal.
"[If I go back to England] for sure not Liverpool," he told Chinese publication Xinhua.
"Because I found myself [performing] very bad in Liverpool. I said the team was good and the fans are amazing, but I would never go back to Liverpool.
"The first one I think in England is Manchester City, and the second team I always like is Arsenal.
"That doesn't mean I'll go to play there. I just like them."
