Former Liverpool striker Fabio Borini made the surprising claim that he thinks Mario Balotelli is the best player he has played – making him better than the likes of Steven Gerrard.
The Sunderland forward was taking part in a quick fire Q&A where he had to give his thoughts on a range of issues.
Borini did say that Andrea Pirlo also ranked alongside Balotelli but appeared to suggest the controversial Italian could be better.
Gerrard apparently offered him the best advice – to go play football because he deserved it.
