Inter Milan midfielder Melo: How to stop Balotelli? Beat him up!

Inter Milan midfielder Felipe Melo was unimpressed by the antics of AC Milan striker Mario Balotelli.

Melo was delighted with their derby win.

He said, “I was booked, but I don't think I deserved to be. The derby is always a physical game and if I had to get a second yellow card for the good of the team, I'd do that without hesitation.

“I don't think it was even a foul and Balotelli made a meal of it. He can be one of the best in the world if he gets his head on straight.

“He's a great player and to stop him you have to also beat him up a bit, like we did tonight."
