Mario Balotelli watches Manchester City crash out of the Champions League from the stands at Monaco

It's been four years since Mario Balotelli departed Manchester City but the striker still appears to have an interest in how his former side fare.

As it happens, that's not very well. Pep Guardiola's team were defeated 3-1 by Monaco in a UEFA Champions League last-16 tie that saw them crash out the competition on away goals following a 6-6 aggregate draw.

Balotelli was among those looking on from inside the Stade Louis II which is just a short trip across the south of France from where the Italian now lines up for Nice.

Balotelli scored 30 goals across his three years at the Etihad Stadium and looked far from impressed as he watched a selection of his former team-mates waste efforts to put Monaco away.
