Mario Balotelli believes he would have won a Ballon d'Or if he had stayed at Manchester City longer than his three year spell between 2010 and 2013.
Balotelli made headlines on and off the pitch during his three year spell at the Etihad, scoring 20 goals in 54 appearances before leaving for AC Milan at the end of the 2012/13 season.
After Balotelli left City, manager Roberto Mancini said the striker was 'like another one of my children' and that the Italian could go on to become one of the best players in the world.
