Ibrahimovic attacks 'mediocre' Balotelli
PSG star Zlatan Ibrahimovic has hit out at former Inter Milan team-mate Mario Balotelli, claiming the Manchester City man is 'mediocre'.
The strikers failed to see eye-to-eye during their time together at the San Siro, and it's clear there is no love lost between the pair.
And the big Swede, not content with simply upsetting the Italian forward, also had a dig at former club Barcelona in the same interview.
When asked by Honduran newspaper Diez if he saw Balotelli as a future Real Madrid player, Ibrahimovic replied: “Balotelli to Madrid? I don't see it, Barca fits him better. A mediocre team, a mediocre player."
