AC Milan midfielder Riccardo Montolivo admits they'll miss Mario Balotelli against Barcelona.

Montolivo was asked about Milan's upcoming Champions League tie with Barcelona, where Balotelli is cup-tied.

"Of course it's disappointing, as he is a great champion, but we have Giampaolo Pazzini who is having a great season and so he can do the role well. We also have Bojan who can give us a hand."
