Balotelli laments Liverpool ‘mistake’

You might, perhaps, find one or two people around Anfield in agreement with Mario Balotelli’s assessment of his decision to join Liverpool as “the worst mistake of my life.”

The latest chapter in the striker’s career got off to an ideal start as he scored twice for new club Nice to help them to a 3-2 win over Marseille, but he said he “didn’t get along” with either Brendan Rodgers or Jurgen Klopp on Merseyside.

“I joined Liverpool — it was the worst mistake of my life,” he said. “Apart from the fans, who were fantastic with me, and the players, who I had a good rapport with, I didn’t like the club.”
