Maverick striker Mario Balotelli is so convinced that Real Madrid of Spain will not qualify for this year’s European Champions League that he has offered Jose Mourinho’s men his girlfriend Fanny Neguesha to sleep with if they achieve the feat.
Madrid, who unexpectedly lost the first leg 1-4 away to Germany’s Borussia Dortmund, face an uphill task in tomorrow’sreturn leg.
“The former Manchester City striker is apparently so confident Dortmund will qualify for the Champions League final, he is claimed to have said that he would allow the Spanish side’s squad to sleep with his girlfriend if they managed to upset the odds and reach Wembley,” reports Britain’s Daily Mail.
In Spanish newspapers AS and Marca, the Italy forward was quoted as saying: “If Real Madrid come back in Champions League, I’ll let my girlfriend sleep with them!”
The 22-year-old Balotelli has previously spoken about his blossoming relationship with Neguesha.
In an exclusive interview with Vanity Fair, the Ghanaian-born Italian striker described her as the “first woman I feel comfortable with.”
