Mario Balotelli: 'Zlatan Ibrahimovic as good as Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi'

Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli claims that AC Milan forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic is on a par with the best players in the world.

Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli believes that AC Milan forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic can be compared to the best players in the world.

Balotelli has also claimed that there is no player in the Premier League of Ibrahimovic's ability, and that he is on a par with Barcelona's Lionel Messi and Real Madrid attacker Cristiano Ronaldo.

"For me, Ibra is at the same level as Messi and Ronaldo, too. But when I speak to him, I tell him, 'I am stronger than you'," Balotelli told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

"If there is a player as good as him in England? No, there is not."

Balotelli joined City from Inter Milan in 2010.
