Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini slammed Italian Mario Balotelli for getting an early read card following which the big-spending English club crashed out of the last 16 of the Europa League on Thursday to end Britain's interest in the competition. <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2011/mar/Mancini1.jpg" border="5" /> Mancini "I am very disappointed because in a game like this it is very difficult if you pick up a red card, and you can pick up a red card for doing something stupid. The problem for Mario is that he thinks he could be a fantastic player. But when he does something stupid like that, it is difficult for me, difficult for him and difficult for the team," said Mancini after City beat Dynamo Kiev 1-0 at Eastlands but bowed out 2-1 on aggregate. Balotelli was shown a straight red in the 37th minute for a high one-footed lunge at Goran Popov.u00a0
