- Mario Balotelli was all smiles as he caught up with former Manchester City team-mates Pablo Zabaleta and Gael Clichy
- Mario Balotelli was at the Etihad to watch new club Liverpool face the Premier League champions
- Stevan Jovetic looked delighted inside the Manchester City tunnel with his man-of-the-match award
It wasn't
the return he was hoping for, but that didn't stop Mario Balotelli
sharing pleasantries with his former Manchester City team-mates.
The
24-year-old was caught on camera hugging Pablo Zabaleta and Gael Clichy
as the pair gave him a warm welcome back inside the Etihad Stadium
tunnel.
Zabaleta looked especially pleased to see the Italy forward - embracing his friend on his return to England.
Despite the
niceties, Liverpool's new £16million signing was afforded no favours
from the duo as he watched his new side slump to a 3-1 defeat on Monday
night.
Two
goals from Stevan Jovetic and a Sergio Aguero strike gave the Premier
League champions a 3-0 lead before Rickie Lambert scored a late
consolation for the visitors.
Jovetic's
double earned him the man-of-the-match award and the Montenegrin looked
rather chuffed with his performance as he walked back into the tunnel
after full-time.
The
same couldn't be said for Frank Lampard though, who looked frustrated
before kick-off as the former Chelsea star was again excluded from the
matchday squad.
