Balotelli: "No comeback for Real"

AC Milan striker Mario Balotelli has put his girlfriend 'into play', making a remarkable offer to the Real Madrid players that he will let Fanny Neguesha sleep with them if they are able to comeback in their Champions League semi-final tie against Dortmund, where they trail 4-1 from the first leg.

"If Real Madrid come back against Dortmund and get through to the Champions League final I'll let my girlfriend sleep with all of them", said Balotelli.

So far Miss Neguesha has not offered an opinion on whether she is keen to take up the rather bizarre offer. It's also not clear what the Real Madrid's players' current wives and girlfriends would make of it if any of the players decided to take advantage of the opportunity.

Montolivo labels Balotelli a "superstar"

Ricardo Montolivo has hailed Mario Balotelli as a "superstar" following his brace in Italy's 2-0 win over Malta on Tuesday.

The AC Milan forward grabbed both goals for Cesare Prandelli's side and Balotelli's club teammate Montolivo praised the ability of the former Manchester City man after the game.



"Malta were clammed up and it was tough to find spaces. Luckily we had that superstar in attack and he sorted it out for us," Montolivo told reporters.



"I think Mario has become fully aware of his abilities and has learned not to fall into the trap of provocation. He has had a remarkable impact on Milan too and I hope he won't stop.



"Balotelli is a centre-forward and is therefore the leading point of the attack. We can even give him the ball badly, as he is so physically strong that he can hold off defenders and find space. Right now, he is a complete player."



Balotelli has scored 10 goals for club and country since moving back to Serie A in January.

"Balotelli won't play against Lazio, he has internal bruising and he isn't available," Allegri told Milan's official TV station Milan Channel. "He's been out of action for a week and can't play."



Allegri later told reporters that the striker was "99.9 per cent" certain to not play.
