Fans boo Balotelli

MARIO BALOTELLI was jeered by his own fans – and then blasted by his boss – after his Nice side crashed out of the Champions League.

The French outfit lost 2-0 to Napoli in the last qualifying round to go out 4-0 on aggregate. The former Manchester City and Liverpool striker made only four successful passes and was pulled off after 77 minutes.

Nice boss Lucien Favre said: “When you have one or two who do nothing on the pitch it is impossible to beat anyone. Balotelli didn’t run enough or give enough. We played better when we put on a youngster.”
