Playing against Ronaldo doesn't excite me - Balotelli

The enigmatic Italian striker is not feeling fazed as he gets set to face the Juventus and Portugal superstar on his debut for Brescia

Mario Balotelli has admitted he doesn't "really care" about playing against Cristiano Ronaldo as he looks set to make his Brescia debut against the Juventus star.

The 29-year has returned for his fourth stint in Italy with the Le Rondinelle but has been absent for their first four Serie A games because of a suspension earned at his previous club Marseille.

Balotelli insists his focus is on finding the back of the net in his first Brescia appearance and he is not fussed about sharing the same pitch as Ronaldo.
