Nice striker Balotelli has dig at former AC Milan president Berlusconi

Nice striker Mario Balotelli has taken aim at former AC Milan president Silvio Berlusconi.

Balotelli answered fan questions on Instagram after a video where he celebrated the last-gasp equaliser.

“I support Milan and have a fondness for Manchester City, you shouldn't get angry because of that," noted SuperMario.

“Why did I throw my Inter jersey on the pitch against Barcelona? I made two or three mistakes in a row, I really wanted to do well and the San Siro crowd started jeering me.

“I was really upset, which is why I reacted that way. But I was only 18 years old, I was a kid."

As Balotelli has always supported Milan, even when he played with their rivals, why did he leave the club?

“Adriano Galliani wanted me there, but Berlusconi on the other hand… no comment."
