Moggi: Mourinho, Balotelli both to blame for Inter Milan blow-up

Former Juventus chief Luciano Moggi says both Jose Mourinho and Mario Balotelli are in the wrong after this week's Inter Milan blow-up. Balotelli is again on the outer at Inter after his meltdown at the end of their victory over Barcelona.

And Moggi says: "They are all guilty, Balotelli must recognise and understand that he has to come back down to earth. It's not enough to have talent to become a champion. You must learn to behave.

"Inter could not handle the player, Mourinho in particular. You don't, during a semifinal of the Champions League with Barcelona, put the guy on, then after five minutes begin to rebuke him blatantly.

"It was like encouraging the audience to boo and the boy collapsed."
