Mario Balotelli says he puts British players to shame - in the fashion stakes.

The Manchester City star, who was recently named the second best-dressed man in Britain by GQ magazine, said that he dresses better than other British footballers.

"I don't wanna offend nobody but an English person cannot speak about style with an Italian person," the Mirror quoted him as saying.

"I didn't say English people wear bad clothes, I said Italian people are on another level," he added.
