Moroccan international Adel Taarabt has confessed that Liverpool forward Mario Balotelli never struck him as a world-class player, thus escalating pressure on him on the account of a poor run at Liverpool.

Taarabt, who currently plays for Queens Park Rangers , said that everyone told him Balotelli was great but never struck him as a world class player while playing alongside him at AC Milan.

He further said that though the controversial Italian international had a strong shot, he was not a team player, Sport24 reported.

According to Taarabt, Balotelli wasted opportunities as he had so many chances to move from Manchester City to Milan.
