Mario Balotelli is finally the center of attention again, both in terms of sport and media. He has been playing for Adana Demirspor since the beginning of the season and, with his ten goals, played a key role in the Turkish promoted team’s sensational fight for a place in the European Cup.
It wasn’t enough for a great career, the 31-year-old’s biggest hurdle was usually himself. Balotelli had his most successful time at Inter Milan, where he won the Champions League and was Serie A champion three times.
“I missed some chances to be at this level, but I’m 100 percent sure my quality is the same as these people, but I… I missed some chances, you know? That’s coming before”, Balotelli comments on The Athletic on the development of his career. Incidentally, his allusion applies to the crème de la crème of world football.

He can’t say today that he’s as good as Cristiano Ronaldo, “because he’s won how many Ballon d’Ors? Five?” Balotelli asks himself, before then bringing Lionel Messi, the next football idol of the period, on board .
“You can’t compare yourself to Messi and Ronaldo, nobody can,” says Balotelli, to insist: “But if it’s just about the quality, the quality of football, then I have no reason to be jealous of them, um to be honest.”
